Protocol for Protein Extraction Using Proteomics. Extraction of proteins from plant cells that are rich in compounds that interfere with the 2-Dimensional electrophoretic separation methods such as salts, organic acids, phenolics, pigments, terpenes, among others. A common protocol used in our lab for extraction proteins from plant tissues consists in the homogenization of mortar-grounded material in liquid nitrogen with an extraction buffer. - [Read Protocol for Protein Extraction Using Proteomics]
DNA isolation from various fungal species including: Cochliobolus, Aternaria, and Fusarium. Key steps: (1) the use of young lyophilized mycelial mats - yield less contaminating carbohydrates; (2) proteinase K in the extraction buffer to destroy DNases (f - [Read Fungal DNA Isolation Method]
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]

Tissue subcellular fractionation and protein extraction for use in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. Although many methods exist for fractionating proteins, the method described here can capture the majority of subcellular fractions simultaneously at reasonable purity. The scalability of this method makes it amenable to small samples, such as embryonic tissues, in addition to larger tissues. The protocol described is for the general fractionation and extraction of proteins from organs / tissue - [Read Tissue subcellular fractionation and protein extraction for use in mass-spectrometry-based proteomic]
A. thaliana has a very small haploid genome and this makes obtaining DNA somewhat difficult. The most notable problem is that DNA is usually contaminated with polysaccharide which inhibit restriction enzymes as well as other DNA modifying enzymes. This problem is most easily solved by using young plants which have not accumulated as much polysaccharide as older plants. The best results are obtained with plants that are two to three weeks post germinated. - [Read Plant DNA Extraction Protocol]
For cells grown in tissue culture, the most useful method of lysis is treating with detergents, as described in this protocol. Non-ionic detergents, such as NP-40, solubilize the plasma and intracellular membranes, break many weak intermolecular bonds, and solubilize most of the commonly studied protein antigens. RIPA lysis buffer may be used as a more rigorous extraction buffer to release all but the insoluble proteins of the cell and to break most weak noncovalent interactions. - [Read Lysing Tissue-Culture Cells for Immunoprecipitation Protocol]

DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
A single step RNA isolation protocol using Phenol Chloroform Extraction and Acid Guanidinium Thiocyanate. This RNA isolation method uses the fact that guanidinium thiocyanate can simultaneously lyse the cells and inactive cellular RNAses during the initial RNA isolation step allow a single step in the method.
