Protocol
Cut tail pieces (3mm) and mark ears.
Add 720
m
l STE and 30
m
l Proteinase K (10 mg/ml stock).
Incubate at 55
°
C on heating block and vortex every hour for 3 hours at top speed for 10 seconds.
Inactivate proteinase K at 70
°
C for 5 minutes.
Quench on ice for 5 minutes.
Centrifuge tail DNA for 10 minutes at full speed.
Decant into new tube containing 720
m
l Isopropanol.
Precipitate DNA by inverting the tube or vortexing.
Spin down DNA for 5 minutes at full speed.
Remove supernatant.
Wash pellet with 70% ethanol.
Spin down genomic DNA 5 minutes at full speed.
Remove supernatant.
Allow DNA to dry for 1-2 minutes.
Resuspend DNA in 100-200
m
l depending on size of pellet.
Place tube at 55
°
C for 1 hour to facilitate dissolution of DNA.
