* Add 70% isopropanol, wait 10 mins for DNA to precipitate. Small amount of DNA visible in isopropanol (We should have done this for longer, possibly in the freezer, to get more DNA)

* Centrifuge for 30 mins to make DNA form pellet at bottom of tube. Unclear if pellet had formed - in future precipitate for longer.
