Abstract
The invention is the improved process and method of DNA banking in which DNA or other genetic material is collected and stored, preserved, banked in a home/self-storage setting. Home/self-storage is to mean "not commercially banked." The invention includes the manufacture of kits designed to collect and bank DNA and other genetic material in a home/self-storage setting. The objective of the invention is to preserve genetic material in the event that it is needed for genetic analysis, genetic testing, genetic diagnosis, genetic therapy, forensic analysis, identification.
