Extraction buffer stock solution (w/o Proteinase K)_20250811_AS v1

This document describes the preparation of extraction buffer stock solution for ancient DNA extraction from bones, teeth, sediments and other materials, following the method described by Dabney et al. 2013 and refined by Rohland et al. 2018. To obtain the final extraction buffer, proteinase K solution (see separate document) must be added on the day of extraction.
