Abstract:
We have developed a DNA isolation method which allows the isolation of high quality DNA from frozen citrated blood and cell lines within 90 min. The procedure avoids the use of toxic organic reagents and tedious extraction steps. DNA prepared by this method is very well suited for restriction fragment length polymorphism and polymerase chain reaction analysis.

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...
