LAST EDITED ON Feb-01-04 AT 05:05 PM (EST) Buccal swabs for DNA sample collection are becoming the norm since they are less invasive, inexpensive and more convenient than blood samples. There are other factors to consider: no trained personnel required as for drawing blood, ease of transport, less chance of degradation, DNA swabs viable for years without refrigeration...etc. Rainsong
