Genomic DNA extraction from mouse tail by proteinase K

Genomic DNA extraction from mouse tail by proteinase K

Material

Day 1

  1. Cut 5-10 mm mouse tail and put it into 1.5 ml tube.
  2. Add 500 ul DNA lysis buf with 40 ug/ml proteinase K (1/500 of stock).
  3. Incubate at 55C for o/n.

Day 2

  1. Add 500 ul phenol.
  2. Mix by tube mixer for 5 min.
  3. Centrifuge at 14000 rpm at RT for 10 min.
  4. Move supernatant to new tube.
  5. Add 500 ul chloroform.
  6. Mix by tube mixer for 5 min.
  7. Centrifuge at 14000 rpm at RT for 10 min.
  8. Move supernatant to new 1.5 ml tube.
  9. Add 500 ul isopropanol.
  10. Shake to mix (gDNA can be seen as white precipitate).
  11. Centrifuge at 14000 rpm at RT for 10 min.
  12. Remove supernatant by decantation.
  13. Add 500 ul of 70% EtOH.
  14. Centrifuge at 14000 rpm at RT for 5 min.
  15. Remove supernatant by 200 ul pipet.
  16. Dry up.
  17. Dissolve in 100 ul H2O.
  18. Use 1 ul for PCR template.
