Mv. Nunes et al., A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE FOR ISOLATION OF DNA SUITABLE FOR PCR AMPLIFICATION FROM CYTOGENETIC PREPARATIONS, Brazilian journal of genetics, 18(3), 1995, pp. 489-490
In order to rescue molecular information from chromosome preparations,
we describe a rapid procedure to obtain DNA from cytogenetic preparat
ions in microscope slides, stored for one to live years at room temper
ature. This technique was modified from previously described procedure
s and the DNA obtained was shown to be suitable for PCR amplification.
