Today I extracted the DNA from soft coral, but it was very contaminated with sugare that is the absorbance at 230 was relatively high.
I think it is due to Mesoglea or the mucus it produces
I used the Qiagen kit?
How far have you got? Have you precipitated the DNA using alcohol? If you do this, then centrifuge the sample to separate the DNA from dissolved salts and sugars, it should be much better.
You could also look into doing an extraction protocol that uses CTAB. We use CTAB to help remove exo-polysaccharides produced by bacteria.
HI,
I suggest to use the CTAB protocol and add 5M NACl when you are precipitating the DNA.
Instead of checking only the mRNA level, I want to check the active protein level of MMP-1 in Liver tissue from mice. How can I do that?
