Sex identification of ancient DNA samples using a microfluidic device

► Microfluidic device developed for the sex identification of ancient DNA samples. ► Integration of DNA extraction and amplification methodologies. ► Proof-of-principle shown by successful sex identification of powdered bone samples. ► Corroborated by independent Amelogenin, anthropological and Y chromosome analysis. ► First step in development of a miniaturized system for on-site ancient DNA analysis.
