Thank you in advance! I am forever grateful for your help.
DNA extraction process
purpose and advantages
For studying the genetic causes of disease, for development of diagnostic and drugs, essential for carrying out forensic science, sequencing genomes , detecting bacteria and viruses etc
Disadvantage
it depends on source of dna , sonication can create DNA strand breaks
Function of PBS buffer is to maintain constant PH used in biological research
Trizol is used for RNA isolation from cells and tissues, it works by maintaining RNA integrity during tissue homogenisation, and breaking cells and cell components
RBC lysis buffer is used to break down RBC and this is ideal for isolation of DNA and RNA from bllod
