Quantification of DNA, in dried blood, saliva tinged with blood in comparision with fresh blood for forensic identification- A pilot study
Blood is a standard sample for ample DNA yields in forensic studies. We conclude in this study, that blood-tinged saliva gives an equally good sample for utilization in DNA detection in those situations where such samples are traced (even at a later date) at the scene of crime, or mass disasters for forensic analysis.
