Abstract:
In this work, we describe a rapid and simple method for total RNA extraction from bacteria and yeast. The method allows for the acquirement of high RNA yields while avoiding the use of phenol or other toxic reagents and is less expensive than other methods previously described. The extracted RNA is suitable for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blot hybridization and low molecular weight RNA (LMW RNA) electrophoresis.

01:34DNA Isolation
DNA from cells is required for many biotechnology and research applications, such as molecular cloning. To remove and purify DNA from cells, researchers use various methods of DNA extraction. While the specifics of different protocols may vary, some general concepts underlie the process of DNA extraction.
01:24DNA Isolation
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...
