Extracting DNA from saliva can be a fascinating game. The hunt for the culprit will unfold through saliva sample extraction and DNA sequencing using PCR. Participants will be able to watch the formation of their DNA strand and find the culprit like a TV series.Organized by the Istituto Zooprofilattico della SardegnaContacts: Sebastiana Tola, Cristiana Serra (Ist.
