Rapid and reliable extraction of genomic DNA from various wild-type and transgenic plants

Background  

DNA extraction methods for PCR-quality DNA from calluses and plants are not time efficient, since they require that the tissues be ground in liquid nitrogen, followed by precipitation of the DNA pellet in ethanol, washing and drying the pellet, etc. The need for a rapid and simple procedure is urgent, especially when hundreds of samples need to be analyzed. Here, we describe a simple and efficient method of isolating high-quality genomic DNA for PCR amplification and enzyme digestion from calluses, various wild-type and transgenic plants.     

Extraction of PCR-quality plant and microbial DNA from total rumen contents

DNA from rumen digesta has several diagnostic applications such as studying microbial community dynamics, transgene/DNA stability, and population typing of various rumen bacteria. Several DNA extraction procedures are described in the literature for rumen digesta, which describe the removal of tannins, polysaccharides, and other PCR inhibitors. Some of these protocols are time-consuming and impractical when handling a large number of samples routinely. Here we describe a rapid method for the extraction of PCR-quality plant and microbial DNA from total rumen contents that is based on modifications in the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide procedure followed by cleanup using a Qiagen column. This procedure is highly reproducible and relatively short, once the initial grinding of the samples is performed, and it consistently yields PCR-quality DNA.     

An effective method for isolation of DNA from pig faeces and comparison of five different methods

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of microorganism in faecal specimens is hampered by poor recovery of DNA and by the presence of PCR inhibitors. In this paper, we describe a new modified method for extracting PCR-quality microbial community DNA from pig faecal samples, which combines the pretreatment with polyformaldehyde, and subsequent DNA lysis in the presence of CTAB, salt, PVP, and beta-mercaptoethanol, followed by isolation of nucleic acids using chloroform (no phenol) based protocol. The method resulted in a 1.3- to 11-fold increase in DNA yield when compared to four other widely used methods. Genomic DNA extracted from all five methods was assessed by both agarose gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction for amplification of 16S rDNA specific fragments. The results showed that the improved method represented a reproducible, simple, and rapid technique for routine DNA extraction from faecal specimens and was notably better than using the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit.

Comparative evaluation of in-house manual, and commercial semi-automated and automated DNA extraction platforms in the sample preparation of human stool specimens for a Salmonella enterica 5'-nuclease assay

In the present study, three methods (NucliSens miniMAG [bioMérieux], MagNA Pure DNA Isolation Kit III Bacteria/Fungi [Roche], and a silica-guanidiniumthiocyanate {Si-GuSCN-F} procedure for extracting DNA from stool specimens were compared with regard to analytical performance (relative DNA recovery and down stream real-time PCR amplification of Salmonella enterica DNA), stability of the extracted DNA, hands-on time (HOT), total processing time (TPT), and costs. The Si-GuSCN-F procedure showed the highest analytical performance (relative recovery of 99%, S. enterica real-time PCR sensitivity of 91%) at the lowest associated costs per extraction (euro 4.28). However, this method did required the longest HOT (144 min) and subsequent TPT (176 min) when processing 24 extractions. Both miniMAG and MagNA Pure extraction showed similar performances at first (relative recoveries of 57% and 52%, S. enterica real-time PCR sensitivity of 85%). However, when difference in the observed Ct values after real-time PCR were taken into account, MagNA Pure resulted in a significant increase in Ct value compared to both miniMAG and Si-GuSCN-F (with on average +1.26 and +1.43 cycles). With regard to inhibition all methods showed relatively low inhibition rates (< 4%), with miniMAG providing the lowest rate (0.7%). Extracted DNA was stable for at least 1 year for all methods. HOT was lowest for MagNA Pure (60 min) and TPT was shortest for miniMAG (121 min). Costs, finally, were euro 4.28 for Si-GuSCN, euro 6.69 for MagNA Pure and euro 9.57 for miniMAG.

Improved extraction of PCR-quality community DNA from digesta and fecal samples

Several DNA extraction methods have been reported for use with digesta or fecal samples, but problems are often encountered in terms of relatively low DNA yields and/or recovering DNA free of inhibitory substances. Here we report a modified method to extract PCR-quality microbial community DNA from these types of samples, which employs bead beating in the presence of high concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), salt, and EDTA, and with subsequent DNA purification by QIAamp columns [referred to as repeated bead beating plus column (RBB + C) method]. The RBB + C method resulted in a 1.5- to 6-fold increase in DNA yield when compared to three other widely used methods. The community DNA prepared with the RBB + C method was also free of inhibitory substances and resulted in improved denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles, which is indicative of a more complete lysis and representation of microbial diversity present in such samples.

Detection of the defoliating and nondefoliating pathotypes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Verticillium dahliae</Emphasis> in artificial and natural soils by nested PCR

In Spain, Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is the most important disease of cotton and olive. Isolates of V. dahliae infecting these crops can be classified into highly virulent, defoliating (D), and mildly virulent, nondefoliating (ND), pathotypes. Infested soil is the primary source of inoculum for Verticillium wilt epidemics in cotton and olive, and severity of disease relates to the prevailing V.dahliae pathotype. In this work we have adapted the use of previously developed primer pairs specific for D and ND V. dahliae for the detection of these pathotypes by nested PCR in artificial and natural soils. Success in the detection procedure depends upon efficiency in extracting PCR-quality DNA from soil samples. We developed an efficient DNA extraction method from microsclerotia infesting the soil that includes the use of acid washed sand during the grinding process and skimmed milk to avoid co-purification of Taq-polymerase inhibitors with DNA. The specific nested-PCR procedure effectively detected 10 or more microsclerotia per gram of soil. The detection procedure has proven efficient when used with a naturally infested soil, thus demonstrating usefullness of the diagnostic method for rapid and accurate assessment of soil contamination by V. dahliae pathotypes.

An electrophoretic capture method for efficient recovery of rare sequences from heterogeneous DNA

It is difficult to isolate rare, PCR-quality DNA from specimens containing large quantities of nonspecific DNA from multiple sources (heterogeneous DNA). Extracting human DNA from stool for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening tests exemplifies this technically challenging sample preparation problem. The stool matrix is complex, the DNA composition heterogeneous, and CRC-associated mutated DNA is rare. This report describes a novel solid phase DNA sequence-specific hybrid capture sample preparation method: the reversible electrophoretic capture affinity protocol (RECAP). We show that RECAP, compared with other methods, is capable of extracting linearly increasing amounts of human DNA from increasing amounts of total stool DNA in a manner that avoids co-purifying PCR inhibitors. RECAP thereby increases the yield of rare mutated DNA molecules and thus increases the detection sensitivity for CRC-associated mutations.

Single-tube HotSHOT technique for the collection, preservation and PCR-ready DNA preparation of faecal samples: the threatened Cabrera's vole as a model

A cost-effective, reliable and efficient method of obtaining DNA samples is essential in large-scale genetic analyses. This study examines the possibility of using a threatened vole species, Microtus cabrerae, as a model for the collection and preservation of faecal samples for subsequent DNA extraction with a protocol based on the HotSHOT technique. Through the examination of the probability of multi-copies (mitochondrial) and single copy (microsatellite) loci amplification (including the genotype error) and of the DNA yield (estimated by real-time qPCR), the new protocol was compared with both the frequently employed methods that successfully use ethanol to preserve faecal samples and with commercial kit-based DNA extraction. The single-tube HotSHOT-based protocol is a user-friendly, non-polluting, time-saving and inexpensive method of faeces sample collection, preservation and PCR-quality gDNA preparation. This technique therefore provides researchers with a new approach that can be employed in high-throughput, noninvasive genetic analyses of wild animal populations.
