Isolation of High-Molecular-Length DNA from Human Skin

An agarose plug method for isolating high-molecular-length DNA from mammalian tissues has been developed, including from those that are difficult, such as skin. It gives high yields of DNA that contain a minimum of single-strand breaks and is readily digested by restriction and other nucleases. The...

description An agarose plug method for isolating high-molecular-length DNA from mammalian tissues has been developed, including from those that are difficult, such as skin. It gives high yields of DNA that contain a minimum of single-strand breaks and is readily digested by restriction and other nucleases. The method requires only simple equipment and is readily adaptable to field or clinical studies.
