This document provides instructions for extracting DNA from saliva at home. It explains that DNA can be found inside cells in the nucleus and is packaged into chromosomes. The procedure involves swishing mouthwash to collect cheek cells, spitting into a solution of water and detergent to lyse the cells and release DNA, then adding cold alcohol which causes the DNA to separate out and form white strands or clumps visible at the top of the mixture. With patience, one can isolate their own unique DNA through this simple at-home extraction process.
