In this study, we demonstrated an extremely effective protocol for DNA extraction of hair. Materials and Methods: Obtaining genetic information from hair samples for DNA typing involves the following steps: sterilization, DNA extraction, quality control, PCR, and profiling. After extracting aDNA (Ancient DNA) from the hair, autosomal STR analyses were performed for each sample using the AmpFℓSTR® MiniFiler™ and Identifiler™ kits. Result: Qualitative analysis of DNA by electrophoresis showed the excellent quality of the extracted samples so that the electrophoresed bands were clearly visible. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the FDEH method is cheaper and faster than commercial kits; moreover, this new method enhances DNA recovery from hair. Because of simple protocol and high quality, this method can be utilized in Medical.
