DNA Banking is the secure, long term storage of an individuals genetic material. DNA is most commonly extracted from cheek cells, saliva, or other tissues using a swab. DNA can be banked at any time during a persons life, but it is particularly urgent for the elderly and terminally ill. Once a person is buried or cremated, it is difficult or sometimes impossible to obtain a DNA sample.
