REVIEW OF NANOTECHNOLOGY METHODS FOR DNA ISOLATION

Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is unique to each individual and will remain unchanged for a lifetime as it follows the rules of the Mendelian lineage. However DNA analysis is a widely accepted technique for individual identification. Extracting and isolating DNA from ancient bone samples and mutilated body parts is an even more difficult and challenging task for the forensic scientist. But newer technology, such as nanotechnology, will help to analyze such models for DNA. Therefore, in this research paper we have shortlisted some research papers that used different nanoparticles to extract DNA. The different nanoparticles used for DNA extraction were cited and briefly explained.
