Deceased Celebrities DNA Used to Make Perfume

Nov. 17, 2009 - PRLog -- How do we do it?  In the case of living customers, the company uses a DNA buccal swab to collect cheek samples for a nDNA analysis, however in the case of these deceased celebrities the mitochondrial DNA analysis is necessary to retrieve the DNA from the hair shaft.


Forensic scientist use Mitrochondrial DNA to identify victims of natural disasters and to resolve Cold Cases because the mitochondria protect the DNA they contain. While the nucleus degrades as the hair shaft hardens during keratinization, cellular mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) remain relatively intact, making mtDNA analysis of the hair shaft possible.
