The efficiency of DNA extraction from whole blood using appropriate method is very important for molecular analysis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the purity and concentration of DNA extraction method from bovine (Bos taurus), chicken (Gallus gallus), and porcine (Sus scrofa) blood. The DNA of blood samples was extracted using three types of kit, namely InnuPREP Blood DNA Mini Kit, Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit, and QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit. The results showed that blood DNA extracted using QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit was found to be the most effective and consistently produced high concentrated and pure DNA for three animal samples. The purity of DNA ranged from 1.73 ± 0.05 Å to 1.94 ± 0.21 Å and the range of blood DNA concentration extracted using the QIAamp DNA were between 13.73 ± 2.11 and 25.01 ± 2.08 ng/?l. However, the blood DNA of porcine was not successfully extracted using InnuPREP Blood DNA Mini Kit and Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit. These results were very crucial for the subsequent use of amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and to facilitate accurate detection in further analysis.

AbstractA simple DNA extraction method is described, applicable to many different kinds of lichens. The method involves the use of the detergents DTAB and CTAB and yields DNA that can be directly amplified with the polymerase chain reaction or digested with restriction enzymes

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become an important tool for Porcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2) research and diagnosis. However, significant differences in detection limit and quantification data, among laboratories and quantitative real-time PCR methods, have been demonstrated. New efforts are required for providing more accurate and comparable results. The current study is an evaluation of the effects of DNA extraction procedures on PCV-2 quantification in lymph node samples. Differences, greater than 1 log10 copies/g, were shown among PCV-2 loads detected after different extraction procedures. The work highlighted the critical role of the DNA extraction method in PCV-2 quantification by quantitative real-time PCR. This important aspect should be evaluated when comparing data from different laboratories or different studies. The PCV-2 quantification data should not be considered comparable before demonstrating the equivalence of the DNA extraction methods performed.

The main objective of this study was to make sure whether randomly taken 12 samples were sensitive to abacavir. The genomic DNA from 12 blood sample were extracted by phenol chloroform DNA extraction method, extracted genomic DNA were amplified and sequenced, thereafter SNPs were detected. Every sample had shown the presence of normal base at SNP position. This study indicated, those randomly taken 12 patients were sensitive to abacavir, so they can consume abacavir if they get infected with HIV.

Transformasi gen Glu-1Dx5, pengendali utama karakter elastisitas dan daya mengembang adonan dari gandum, telah berhasil ditransfer ke dalam genom tanaman padi kultivar Fatmawati dengan menggunakan penembakan partikel, dengan tujuan untuk memperbaiki kualitas adonan tepung beras. Galur-galur harapan telah diperoleh, tetapi karena telah mengalami penyerbukan sendiri selama 1-2 generasi yang menyebabkan transgen mengalami segregasi, maka diperlukan upaya pendeteksian transgen pada populasi putative transgenik ini. Upaya ini dapat dilakukan, antara lain dengan menggunakan teknik Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) yang memungkinkan perbanyakan fragmen DNA yang spesifik (gen) secara cepat dalam jumlah banyak.  Percobaan ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan tanaman padi transgenik yang memiliki gen Glu-1Dx5 pada dua generasi yang sedang bersegregasi. DNA genom dari 149 tanaman padi (generasi T1 sebanyak 14 tanaman, generasi T2 sebanyak 134 tanaman, dan satu tanaman non-transgenik) telah diekstraksi menggunakan Genomic DNA Purification Kit dari Fermentas. Plasmid pK+Dx5 digunakan sebagai positif kontrol, selain itu digunakan juga enzim Taq DNA polymerase dari Go Green Taq® Master Mix (Promega) dan 2 primer spesifik yang mengamplifikasi coding region dari Glu-1Dx5 (2,5 kb). Hasil percobaan menunjukkan, tanaman padi yang memiliki gen Glu-1Dx5 pada generasi T2-7 sebanyak 26 tanaman, T2-11 : 12 tanaman, T2-12 : 3 tanaman, T2-40 : 3 tanaman dan T2-45 : 5 tanaman. Seluruh tanaman generasi T1 tidak memiliki insert. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa gen Glu-1Dx5 sudah terintegrasi ke dalam genom tanaman padi kultivar Fatmawati dan diwariskan dari satu generasi ke generasi berikutnya.
