Extraction of cleaner genomic DNA from squid
As the quick and dirty method to extract genomic DNA failed to produce genomic DNA suitable for PCR, two new protocols are carried out as an attempt to obtain cleaner genomic DNA. This protocol produces clearner preparations and probably somewhat higher yields of genomic DNA. This is adapted from an improved version of the protocol for Zebrafish.
Theory
How it works
Practice
1. Prepare squid tissue samples and at least 100μl of DNA extraction buffer per tissue sample. Incubate at 50 for about an 3 hr. Mix occasionally
- DNA Extraction Buffer
- 10mM Tris pH 8.2
- 10mM EDTA
- 200 mM NaCl
- 0.5% SDS
- 200 µg/ml proteinase K
2. Add 200µl EtOH,mix, and place on ice for 20-30 min.
3. Centrifuge in microfuge for 10 min, remove supernatant and add 400 µl 70% EtOH. Spin again for 2 min, remove liquid and dry pellet.
4. Resuspend the DNA in 40µl TE, store at -20. µl Proceed with PCR reaction.
Safety
The safety implication of the procedure.
