Extracting DNA from Tissue Samples

DNA is extracted from the various tissue samples using Qiagen's DNeasy® 96 Blood & Tissue Genomic DNA Purification Kits. The final step elutes purified DNA in AE buffer which is ready for PCR. Extractions are performed in sets of 95 individual samples contained in a 96-well plate with the last well left vacant as a No Template Control (NTC.)
