The quality of DNA recovered from the archival tissues of atomic bomb survivors is good enough for the single nucleotide polymorphism analysis in spite of the decade-long preservation in formalin.

Abstract excerpt

It is well known that the yield of DNA recovered form tissues preserved in formalin is inversely proportional to the stored duration. How is the quality? We tested the quality of DNA from archival tissues of atomic-bomb survivors stored in formalin for decades with the parameters of gene amplification efficiency by a polymerase chain reaction. All of the DNA extracted from the tissues preserved in formalin for 30...
