Faster for you maybe.

I did this a few weeks ago in my Genetics class...now I have a little heart shaped vial of my DNA...which looks like snot in water. Pretty cool idea, not a stunning visual.

Now show me a video on how to verify this. What power of microscope would you need to determine this isn't just regular cells?

Also, this is faster if you gargle with the soap!

That can't really be very pure DNA, though, right? DNA is a pretty tiny fraction of your cells by volume / weight, and the soap might dissolve some parts of the cell but not all of it.

False advertising! I was expecting to see Suzanne Vega.

No, it's not pure DNA. It's DNA + histones (the proteins associated with DNA).
