title: PNA-mediated purification of PCR amplifiable human genomic DNA from whole blood.
abstract: A simple and rapid procedure whereby human genomic DNA can be purified in a PCR amplifiable form from whole blood is described. In a first step, human genomic DNA is hybridized in solution to a biotinylated peptide nucleic acid (PNA), which forms a high-affinity triplex with A7 sequence motifs in the target DNA. The complex is then captured onto paramagnetic streptavidin-coated particles, which are subsequently transferred directly into the PCR. The purification method effectively removes inhibitors of the PCR from as much as 500 microL of whole blood.
