It is possible to obtaing high-quality DNA from urine samples preserved with forlmol?

Hello,

I want to know if it is possible to obtaing high-quality DNA to amplify schistosome-DNA in urine samples previosly preserved with formol 1%.

Thanks

I think possible. I used formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues to extract chlamydial DNA. However more washing of isolated DNA is required. Formalin does not degrade the DNA would rather fix it.
