Mrl4 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) i dont know if it also works with buccal swabs but it does work with onions: in a pestle and mortar, bash the cells with some rock salt (just a little bit). then, strain the mixture with a cloth, and add ethanol to the extracted liquid. a white filament should appear. it's dna Edited December 16, 2011 by Mrl4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
