Freezer anthropology: new uses for old blood.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Jan 1999

Merriwether D A

Abstract excerpt

Archived blood fractions (plasma, settled red cells, white cells) have proved to be a rich and valuable source of DNA for human genetic studies. Large numbers of such samples were collected between 1960 and the present for protein and blood group studies, many of which are languishing in freezers or have already been discarded. More are discarded each year because the usefulness of these samples is not widely...
