INTRODUCTION
DNA contained in a slice of low-melting-temperature agarose is first concentrated by electrophoresis into a high-percentage agarose gel, and then isolated by treatment with agarase. The resulting DNA preparation is purified by microdialysis.
MATERIALS
Agarase
Agarase digestion buffer
Use the buffer supplied with the enzyme. It is critical that all buffers be supplemented with 100 mM NaCl, 30 µM spermine, and 70 µM spermidine to enhance recovery of the DNA.
DNA size standards
