Basic protocol for genomic DNA isolation from E coli
Can any one provide me an easy and efficient protocol. I searched In Sambrook and Russell- Molecular cloning, but its hard to locate and understand the basic protocol and necessary reagents ?
Many or most protocols for isolating DNA from E. coli are focused on getting a high yield of plasmid or phage DNA with minimal bacterial genome (main chromosome) DNA, because we most often are looking to harvest a large quantity of a gene we have cloned into the plasmid or phage. So be sure to look for protocols for genomic DNA and not plasmid mini-prep protocols.
Cassandra Vogel Kotter, Thanks for pointing towards the critical error. Can I know for PURE CULTURE of E. Coli, stored at -80 temperature, which protocol You suggest
That should be pretty easy then, since there aren't a lot of contaminants. E.coli is also quite easy to lyse, so you can probably skip any of the fancy lysis steps, like proteinase K, etc... What are the downstream processes you plan to use the DNA for (i.e. pure enough to sequence or run qPCR or just use for cloning)? Are you open to using a DNA extraction kit or are you trying to make all the reagents yourself?
I am open to use extraction kit, though I want to learn it by conventional technioque. After cloning, my aim is to go for protein expression. Can You advance Your suggestions.
