The invention discloses a kit for extracting DNA in the egg shell membrane of Yangtze alligator and a use method thereof, and the kit comprises the following reagents: a reagent A, a reagent B, a reagent C, a reagent D, a reagent E and a reagent F. The template DNA which is extracted by the kit has good purity, and the kit can be used for gene amplification sequencing and typing. In the amplification of the 12S rRNA gene, the mitochondrial D-loop region and the Cyt b gene, all the extracted shell membrane DNA templates can be successfully amplified to obtain the fragment products with expected identical sizes, high concentration and high specificity. Microsatellite DNA marker specificity primers are utilized to obtain typing data through the PCR amplification to be used for the identification in disputed paternity of Yangtze alligator. In addition, the method also can be applied to the extraction of other ovipara such as the turtles, the birds and the like. The obtained template DNA can be widely applied to the studies of the ovipara on the fields such as population genetic analysis, molecular evolution, evolution of relationship among individuals and the like.
