Challenge students to design their own experimental protocol to extract DNA from strawberries. By developing their own protocol and presenting their findings in a lab meeting, students learn the ...
To obtain high-quality, purified nucleic acids, scientists can use several different methods, including phenol-chloroform extraction, cesium chloride/ethidium bromide (CsCl/EtBr) gradient ...
Most procedures for extracting DNA from general substrates involve manipulations that reduce yields and expose the sample to potential contamination. Additionally, most methods also require ...
