| Abstract: | A rapid, economical method of DNA isolation from blood was developed that yields DNA suitable for Southern analysis and polymerase chain reactions without organic solvent extractions. Bovine DNA was prepared from peripheral leukocytes and nuclei using pronase E digestion and ethanol precipitation. This isolation method readily adapts to multiple samples. The DNA is characterized by high yield, solubility, lack of protein contamination, and ease of restriction endonuclease digestion. |
