Low quality extraction of termite DNA?

02 November 2020 1 2K Report

I am extracting DNA of 3 years old termite specimen for bar coding through chelex extraction but facing low quality of DNA (most probably because of long storage or improper transportation)? Is there any one faced the same issue and how it was tackled? or any one having similar experience. Any help regarding this would be much appreciated.

Ahmad Ali

the duration doesn't affect, the fixatives affect the quality. Usually, specimens fixed with formalin or ethanol doesn't yield good quality DNA.
