(DNA Extraction Methods)
Human health studies in the field of molecular biology require the use of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The nucleic acid extraction is a key step in laboratory procedures required to perform further molecular research applications. It is essential to choose a suitable extraction method, and there are a few considerations to be made when evaluating the available options. These may include technical requirements, time efficiency, cost-effectiveness, as well as biological specimens to be used and their collection and storage requirements. DNA extraction is a process used to purify and extract DNA using chemical or physical methods from a biological sample, by separating the DNA from protein, cell membranes, and other cellular components.The DNA extraction protocol involves lysis of membranes to extract DNA, then separating the DNA from impurities such as proteins and other materials.
