DNA Extraction from Agarose Gels Protocol. The page includes cutting out the DNA band from the gel, and describes three methods including 1) Spin-columns (Nucleic acid purification columns), 2) using Dialysis tubing (semi-permeable membrane, Visking tubing), and the 3) Paper strip method.Matt Lewis, Department of Pathology, University of Liverpool. - [Read DNA Extraction from Agarose Gels Protocol]
Protocol that isolates intact, high molecular weight DNA from yeast cells for subcloning and rare cutting restriction enzyme analysis. Using this protocol one can expect a yield of 100-200 µg of DNA per prep. - [Read High Molecular Weight Yeast Liquid DNA Preparation Protocol]
LCM technology can harvest the cells of interest directly or can isolate specific cells by cutting away unwanted cells to give histologically pure enriched cell populations. A variety of downstream applications exist: DNA genotyping and loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) analysis, etc. Protocol provides a thorough description of LCM techniques, with an emphasis on tips and troubleshooting advice derived from LCM users. The total time required to carry out this protocol is typically 1–1.5 h. - [Read Laser-capture Microdissection Protocol]
Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) is a method to detect large numbers of restriction landmarks in a single experiment. It is based on the concept that restriction enzyme sites can serve as landmarks throughout a genome. RLGS uses direct end-labeling of the genomic DNA digested with a rare-cutting restriction enzyme and high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis. - [Read Restriction Landmark Genomic Scanning Protocol]
