In the field of forensic science, the DNA extraction of bone is utilized in investigations involving mass disasters, unidentified remains, and missing persons. However, bone samples can be challenging samples due to their exposure to extreme environmental conditions over long periods of time. The use of an effective DNA extraction method to properly isolate and purify the DNA is essential for bone samples. This chapter describes the DNA extraction of bone samples through a total demineralization protocol, which aims to entirely dissolve the bone matrix in order to access the DNA molecules.
