High-Yield RNA-Extraction Method for Saliva

High-yield RNA-extraction method for saliva.

BACKGROUND The use of salivary diagnostics is increasing because of its noninvasiveness, ease of sampling, and the relatively low risk of contracting infectious organisms. Saliva has been used as a biological fluid to identify and validate RNA targets in head and neck cancer patients. The goal of this study was to develop a robust, easy, and cost-effective method for isolating high yields of to...

Increasing DNA extraction yield from saliva stains with a modified Chelex method.

Recovery, preservation and analysis of body fluid stains is an important aspect of forensic science. PCR-based typing of DNA extracted from recovered stains is often a crucial method to identify a perpetrator or exclude an innocent suspect. This paper reports an improved method of extracting genomic DNA from saliva stains deposited on human skin in simulated bite mark situations. Results of org...

TRIzol-based RNA Extraction: A Reliable Method for Gene Expression Studies

RNA extraction is a prerequisite technique for gene expression studies, analyzing the etiology and disease progression, treatment effects, as well as designing the diagnostic methods. Although many RNA extraction kits have been commercialized, but these kits are expensive and are not accessible in some countries. Many studies have shown that TRIzol is an applicable material for the RNA extracti...
