  2. DNA extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_extraction

    DNA extraction is the process of isolating DNA from the cells of an organism isolated from a sample, typically a biological sample such as blood, saliva, or tissue. It involves breaking open the cells, removing proteins and other contaminants, and purifying the DNA so that it is free of other cellular components.

  3. Plasmid preparation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid_preparation

    Plasmid miniprep. 0.8% agarose gel ethidium bromide-stained.. A plasmid preparation is a method of DNA extraction and purification for plasmid DNA.It is an important step in many molecular biology experiments and is essential for the successful use of plasmids in research and biotechnology.

  4. Differential extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_extraction

    Differential extraction uses a chemical called dithiothreitol (DTT) to disrupt the sulfur bonds in the protamines in order to release its DNA. Once the DNA is detached from the protamines, it is prone to standard DNA extraction methods. This creates two different DNA fractions from one sample, that of the victim and that of the perpetrator.

  5. Electroelution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroelution

    Electroelution is a method used to extract a nucleic acid or a protein sample from an electrophoresis gel by applying a negative current in the plane of the smallest dimension of the gel, drawing the macromolecule to the surface for extraction and subsequent analysis. [2]

  6. Spin column-based nucleic acid purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_column-based_nucleic...

    Silica in a spin column with water and with DNA sample in chaotropic buffer. Spin column-based nucleic acid purification is a solid phase extraction method to quickly purify nucleic acids. This method relies on the fact that nucleic acid will bind to the solid phase of silica under certain conditions.

  7. DNA separation by silica adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_separation_by_silica...

    In order to separate DNA through silica adsorption, a sample is first lysed, releasing proteins, DNA, phospholipids, etc. from the cells. The remaining tissue is discarded. The supernatant containing the DNA is then exposed to silica in a solution with high ionic strength. The highest DNA adsorption efficiencies occur in the presence of buffer ...

  9. Molecular paleontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_paleontology

    DNA extraction from fossils is one of the more popular practices and there are different steps that can be taken to get the desired sample. [4] DNA extracted from amber-entombed fossils can be taken from small samples and mixed with different substances, centrifuged, incubated, and centrifuged again. [46] On the other hand, DNA extraction from ...
