Comparison of the extraction procedures shows that the simple phenol-chloroform method is the most suitable for DNA extraction from buccal swab, urine, hair, and blood samples. Under appropriate storage conditions, DNA isolated from buccal cells, urine, and hair can be successfully used to perform PCR-based assays.
