An Improved Protocol for the Preparation of Total Genomic DNA from Isolates of Yeast and Mould Using Whatman FTA Filter Papers

摘要

Here, we present a significantly improved version of our previously published method for the extraction of fungal genomic DNA from pure cultures using Whatman FTA® filter paper matrix technology. This modified protocol is extremely rapid, significantly more cost effective than our original method, and importantly, substantially reduces the problem of potential cross-contamination between sequential filters when employing FTA technology.
