Sample: muscle tissue (~4mg)

Extraction Kit: Macheney-Nagel - DNA, RNA & Protein Purification Kit

DNA concentration (Biodrop) = ~20ng/µl

Gel: 1% Agarose, 100V, 40minutes

DNA ladder: 1kbp ladder

Volume of sample loaded= 5µl (~100ng)

Result: No visible DNA bands other than DNA ladder, no smearing and no DNA shown left in the well

Can this happened due to DNA degradation? If so, is there any extraction protocol to obtain high molecular weight genomic DNA?
