DNA extraction from keratin and chitin
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research › peer-review
DNA extracted from keratinous and chitinous materials can be a useful source of genetic information. To effectively liberate the DNA from these materials, buffers containing relatively high levels of DTT, proteinase K, and detergent are recommended, followed by purification using either silica column or organic methods.
