Hi all,
I am using buccal swabs of seals as a sample source for microsats and mitochondrial sequencing. There is a few samples that were shipped stored in ethanol. , i.e. swab of the buccal area is placed in a 2mL tube containing 70-90% ethanol until extraction. I am using one of the DNA micro kits to extract DNA from the swabs. however, before extracting from the ones stored in ethanol, I just want to ensure I am processing those correctly. What would be the correct pre-step before starting the extraction as per kit instructions (as it is necessary to get rid of all ethanol prior to starting the extraction)?
Thanks for any help.
