Abstract
Genomic studies make it possible to breakthrough in many fields such as biochemistry, physiology, phylogenetics, etc., though they are unworkable without sequences of genomic DNA of an organism. The terrestrial mollusks’ genomes would benefit gastropod biology investigations, that are unavailable so far due to problems in DNA integrity and quality after the isolation procedures. Here we describe a fast and handy protocol for genomic DNA extraction from the tissues of Helix lucorum, which allows to yield high-quality samples applicable for downstream analysis such as high-throughput DNA sequencing. Troubleshooting revealed the nuclease activity of snail tissue lysate, which may be avoided by heating the lysate and decreasing the incubation time.
基因组研究使生物化学、生理学、系统发育学等许多领域的研究取得突破成为可能,但如果没有生物体的基因组DNA序列,这些研究是无法进行的。陆生软体动物的基因组将有利于腹足类生物学研究,但由于分离程序后 DNA 的完整性和质量问题,迄今为止还无法获得陆生软体动物的基因组。在此,我们介绍了一种快速、简便的方法,用于从螺旋藻组织中提取基因组DNA,从而获得高质量的样本,用于下游分析,如高通量DNA测序。故障排除显示蜗牛组织裂解液具有核酸酶活性,这可以通过加热裂解液和缩短孵育时间来避免。
期刊介绍:
The journal retains its traditional interest in evolutionary research that is of relevance to geneticists, even if this is not explicitly genetical in nature. The journal covers all areas of genetics and evolution,including molecular genetics and molecular evolution.It publishes papers and review articles on current topics, commentaries and essayson ideas and trends in genetics and evolutionary biology, historical developments, debates and book reviews. From 2010 onwards, the journal has published a special category of papers termed ‘Online Resources’. These are brief reports on the development and the routine use of molecular markers for assessing genetic variability within and among species. Also published are reports outlining pedagogical approaches in genetics teaching.
