Yes, menstrual blood will contain DNA of the individual who is menstruating (also possible DNA from sexual partners if they had sex within a few days of taking the sample). Menstrual flow contains blood, tissue, discharge, cervical mucus, and skin cells which all will contain DNA.

Which blood cell has DNA?
All groups of white blood cells have DNA. When a blood sample is procured for the isolation of DNA, the white blood cells are the target cells since they have nuclei containing DNA. Red blood cells on the other hand, contain neither nuclei nor DNA
How valuable are red blood cells in DNA typing?
absolutley nothing red blood cells contain no DNA
What organelle doesn't contain DNA?
Some viruses contain only RNA (and need a host with DNA in order to replicate themselves). Red blood cells of mammals are anucleated (lack a nucleus) and do not contain nuclear DNA as a result.
Role of RBC lysis solution in DNA isolation?
When isolating DNA from blood, white blood cells (WBC's) are the target. This is because RBC's do not contain a nucleus and therefore do not contain DNA. The function of the lysis buffer is to help in the lysis (or breaking) of white blood cells. WBC's must first be lysed so that the DNA may be released from inside the cell.
Does red blood cells have DNA?
They do. Mammals are the only vertebrates without a nucleus in their erythrocytes.

Which human body parts don't contain DNA example do our skin and nail contain DNA?
Red blood cells
Do any cells contain less or no DNA content?
Yes, there is one type of cell which does not contain DNA, and that is the red blood cell.
What of your body's cells contain DNA?
red blood cells
Does mammalian blood contain any DNA?
White blood cells carry genetic information. In mammals mature red blood cells do not have DNA because they do not have nuclei. They expel them during the maturation process. However, in birds and reptiles they have nucleated red blood cells. Thus reptile and bird red blood cells do contain DNA.
Would you expect to get a positive DNA test in a mature red blood cell?
Red blood cell doesn't contain DNA.. It lacks nucleus..
Why do frog blood cells contain DNA while human blood cells don't?
Not true. They both do. DNA is contained in all living cells.
What animal has DNA in their blood?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in all living things (note though that viruses may contain RNA instead, it is not yet decided as to whether viruses are living or non living). Blood is a complex of red blood cells, white blood cells, and a straw coloured fluid. It is the blood cells that contain DNA as DNA is found in every cell of the body.
Which molecule doesn't contain DNA?
If you mean which cell doesn't contain DNA, mature red blood cells don't. They expel their nucleus once they mature, kicking out all the DNA it contains.
Is every biological sample being DNA evidence?
No, When we considering the human blood reb blood cells don't contain neclues. So in red blood cells they don't contain DNA. So it's not a DNA evidence.(Red blood cells). Not only them hair without roots, nails with out mussels are other examples.
What organelle doesn't contain DNA?
Some viruses contain only RNA (and need a host with DNA in order to replicate themselves). Red blood cells of mammals are anucleated (lack a nucleus) and do not contain nuclear DNA as a result.
