Which kit is suitable for purify total acid nucleic from ectoparasites / invertebrates ?

22 June 2020 0 2K Report

Hi, I have some whole ectoparasites to purify DNA and RNA in order to submit these samples to whole genomic sequencing.

Does anyone have some experience with good protocols for that?

Thanks!
