I need to extract DNA from ants for posterior Illumina sequencing, but I do not know which extraction protocol would be fit for the task.
After reading Gadau (2009), I'm considering the use of Phenol–Chloroform, but I wonder if there are better alternatives.
I have workers from different sizes (3 - 20 mm) and some larvae. Does anyone know of a protocol that yields good-quality DNA in a quantity that would be suitable for sequencing?
Thanks! :)
