How to extract your own DNA
Courtesy of Radio Wales this morning - swill your mouth out rigorously with salty water. Spit the solution into a glass containing washing up liquid diluted with water. Add cold, strong gin. After a few minutes the washing up liquid will start to separate and thin white spirals of DNA will become evident. Awesome.
