Our draft protocol in text form.

The main source is University of Utah which is famous for Genetics. In this experiment experiment however we substitute the chosen fruit with strawberries.
Here are some of the resources we compile our procedure from:

Utah U protocol

extraction from strawberry

human DNA and great explanations

other straw

improved extraction.
