Abstract
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) is unique to each and every individual and it remains constant throughout the life as it follows the laws of Mendelian inheritance. However DNA analysis is widely accepted techniques for personal identification. DNA extraction and isolation from ancient bone samples, degraded body parts etc. is still quite difficult and challenging task for forensic scientist. But new upcoming technology like nanotechnology will help for analysis of such samples for DNA. Hence, in this review article we are short listed some of the research articles which used the different nanoparticles for DNA extraction. Where different nanoparticles used for the DNA extraction were cited and explained in brief. Traditionally, personal or forensic identification of human remains is done on the basis of fingerprint, odontology or skeletal evidence, facial characteristics, scars, marks, or other special features. In many cases, the methods available does not prove to be useful as the extent of putrefaction or destruction of the remains or decomposition is very high. In the case of mass disasters, terrorist attacks, traffic accidents, wars, fires, explosions, airplane crashes defragmented body, highly decomposed body or severely burnt and other harrowing events personal identification or forensic identification become very difficult for the investigator from skeletal remains.
