Abstract
Protein extracts originally prepared for isozyme electrophoresis two decades ago contain surviving DNA sequences susceptible to amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Amplification was also possible after stabilization of such extracts on filter paper and immersion under mineral oil without refrigeration.Keywords
