(1/1)

just curious111:
Hi, Im wondering how would you go about extracting dna in a home setting. What materials would you use? Where would you get them,whats the proccess? Also i am still a minor so i have very limited access to supplys and a low budget. Oh and is any of this even possible?

Yes, it is possible, with stuff you can get at the grocery store.

There seem to be a variety of recipes, similar but not exactly the same.
