Can someone suggest me an easy protocol of DNA extraction from termites preserved in ethanol.
Just crush termite in liquid Nitrogen, after that you can follow general protocol which is used for mammalian DNA isolation.
Just remember one thing that is add N2 slowly slowly and simultaneously crush it.
Maybe you can use Sonication or crush the termite between two microscopic slides which we use for worms, then follow any type of DNA isolation protocoles like Sambrooke method.
How can DNA from live termite be taken out......i need to examine the DNA assembly before administering a pesticide
it is difficult, but use head and legs for DNA extraction, use liquid nitrogen and glass beads during crushing and best one homognizer with -4 temperature.
