A Quick, Cost-Free Method of Purification of DNA Fragments from Agarose Gel
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this short communication we report a quick, cost-free method of purification of DNA fragments from agarose gel. Unlike those procedures that involve commercial kits, this method uses glass wool or absorbent cotton to filter agarose gel during a quick spinning-down of DNA, thus significantly simplifying the routine practice of many molecular biologists and decreasing the cost.

A quick and effective in-house method of DNA purification from agarose gel, suitable for sequencing
Sequencing of DNA fragments (e.g., ITS, 16S, 18S, particular genes, and molecular markers) is increasingly required in studies on microbial diversity, microbial genetic population and phylogeny, sequencing of alleles, and searching for SNPs, among others. The cost of obtaining these DNAs, in quantity and quality for sequencing, is high as it involves special kits to recover DNA from gel after P...
متن کاملSimple procedure for production of short DNA size markers of 100 to 2000 bp
DNA size markers (ladder) are essential tools in molecular biology, genetics and biotechnology. In this study, a simple and cost-effective method for laboratory production of DNA ladders is introduced. For this purpose, different sizes of 100 to 2000 bp DNA segments were designed using PCR technique. For producing 14 different gene fragments as DNA molecular weight markers, recombinant plasmid ...

Background & Objectives: Today, major progress has been made in molecular experiments. The first step towards improving these experiments is the accurate extraction of nucleic acid. In this study, a protocol for DNA extraction was proposed in accordance with silica gel method. DNA purification, developed based on the silica-gel-membrane technology, is a simple method, which involves three s...
متن کاملIsolation and purification of large DNA restriction fragments from agarose gels.
This unit describes methods for recovering and purifying DNA restriction fragments from agarose gels. The first basic protocol describes electroelution of the fragment of interest from standard agarose gels using buffer-filled dialysis bags, followed by concentration and purification using an Elutip column. This approach can be used effectively for fragments of all sizes from 50 to 20,000 bp. E...
متن کاملAn efficient and simple CTAB based method for total genomic DNA isolation from low amounts of aquatic plants leaves with a high level of secondary metabolites
An efficient DNA isolation protocol specifically modified to get pure quality DNA required for molecular studieshas been reported in this paper. Some aquatic plants (Potamogeton spp., Ceratophyllum demersum and Myriophyllum spicatum) were used for the study. The protocol developed will be useful in getting high and pure DNA. Instead of using the available DNA extraction kits, this protocol can ...
