Unit 4: Genomic DNA Purification
Genomic DNA Purification
This unit discusses the chemistry and purpose behind the steps involved in genomic DNA purification. The accompanying
laboratory has students perform "home brew" DNA purification using household solutions (solutions-based purification) as well as use a commercial kit for
purification (membrane-based).Use the links below to access lectures, labs, animations and writing assignments for this unit.
