Abstract
All nucleated cells contain DNA and RNA. Common sources of DNA obtained for clinical use include blood, bone marrow, and tissue samples such as biopsies and tissues removed during surgical resections. Buccal scrapings and hair roots may also be used. In forensic applications, semen and vaginal fluids are common sources of DNA.
