Abstract:
Rapid isolation of DNA from goat blood using different brands of detergents available in Indian market, is reported. The integrity and efficiency of these DNA preparations were compared with genomic DNA isolated by a standard kit (Flexi gene DNA kit), using amplification of exon 2 of CYP19 (aromatase) gene. The similar and significant amplification of this gene was obtained using genomic DNA isolated by kit and various detergents. However, among the detergents used, the Rin and Ezee were found to be the best to get DNA of high purity comparable to that obtained by kit.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...
