The RFLP sizing data produced from the blood and semen stains were evaluated with respect to (1) DNA extraction method, (2) gel length, (3) agarose type, (4) presence or absence of ethidium bromide in the gel, and (5) fragment sizes obtained from DNA isolated directly from the donor's liquid blood. The extracted DNA was digested and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns were generated using three single-locus probes. The extracted DNA from approximately 600 bloodstains and 700 semen stains was quantified by yield gel analysis and a slot blot hybridization technique. All blood and semen stains originated from a single donor and were prepared under uniform conditions to permit the direct comparison of DNA yields and restriction fragment lengths. Nine laboratories participated in the extraction of DNA from 20 bloodstains and 20 semen stains using each protocol. Four bloodstain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction protocols and five semen stain DNA extraction protocols were evaluated. This study originated from discussions and recommendations of the Technical Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (TWGDAM).
