TY - JOUR T1 - Capture and Purification of Plant Genomic DNA on a Readily-available Cellulose Matrix JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/163212 SP - 163212 AU - Megan M. Thompson AU - Estelle M. Hrabak Y1 - 2017/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/07/13/163212.abstract N2 - Whatman FTA ®Cards are a fast and efficient method for capturing and storing nucleic acids but are cost-prohibitive for some researchers. We developed a method that substitutes readily-available cellulose-based paper and homemade washing buffer for commercial FTA ®Cards and FTA ®Purification Reagent. This method is suitable for long-term storage of DNA from many plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana, prior to purification and PCR.Method Summary Here we report a low-cost method for long-term storage of plant genomic DNA on a readily available cellulose matrix.
