== Sample collection ==
* Collect a small amount of cells by gently scraping the interior of your cheek.
* Transfer the collected cells to a 1.5 ml tube.
== Novel experimental procedure for DNA extraction (28/10/12) ==
(This has not yet been tested)
* Add to the cell sample 200 µl of Lysis Buffer (10 mM Tris-HC1 (pH 8.0), 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100).
* Incubate solution at 94˚C for at least half an hour (better 1h).
* Spin in microcentrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 10 min.
* Collect supernatant in a novel tube and discard pellet. Procede with proteinase K treatment and ethanol precipitation.
== Proteinase K treatment and ethanol precipitation ==
* Get DNA sample from previous extraction.
* Get DNA sample from previous extraction.
* Add 1 part proteinase K (1mg/ml stock solution) to 3 parts sample. Incubate at 50˚C for 1 hour and then heat-inactivate proteinase K at 94˚C for 10 min.
