title: A simple method of DNA extraction from whole tissues and blood using glass powder for detection of transgenic animals by PCR.
abstract: A very simple and reliable method to extract DNA directly from mouse tail, rabbit ear and blood is described. Tissue was homogenized in a solution of NaI and the DNA was extracted using glass powder. The extracted DNA was obtained in sufficient quantity and purity to allow direct detection of transgene by PCR.
