We aim to extract DNA from plants, then PCR out a sequence and run it on a gel to test and refine our DNA extraction / PCR technique. First project is to test for peas. Inspiration and primers are in this [http://www.epochlifescience.com/Product/SpinColumn/EconoSpin%20Plant%20Seed%20gDNA.pdf paper]. We are using two methods of extraction. 1st attempt with a chelex protocol, 2nd with alcohol precipitation.
