This method is designed to maximize recovery of PCR-amplifiable DNA from ancient bone and teeth specimens and at the same time
to minimize co-extraction of substances that inhibit PCR. This is achieved by a combination of DNA extraction from bone powder
using a buffer consisting solely of EDTA and proteinase K, and purification of the DNA by binding to silica in the presence of high
concentrations of guanidinium thiocyanate. All steps are performed at room temperature (2023 1C), thereby reducing further
degradation of the already damaged and fragile ancient DNA and providing an optimal trade-off between DNA release and
degradation. Furthermore, the purification step removes most of the various types of PCR inhibitors present in ancient bone samples,
thereby optimizing the amount of ancient DNA available for subsequent enzymatic manipulation, such as PCR amplification.
The protocol presented here allows DNA extraction from ancient bone and teeth with a minimum of working steps and equipment
and yields DNA extracts within 2 working days. SPEX6770 全自动冷冻研磨机 SPEX6870 全自动冷冻研磨机 SPEX6970EFM 冷冻研磨机
