gDNA extraction from buccal cavity Cell collection 1. A taster and a non-taster of the compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) was identified by tasting papers dipped in PTC solution. 2. Cell suspension from both the taster and the non-taster was collected by mouthwash with 0.9% NaCl solution. 3. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 20 minutes. [In the first place, centrifuge needed to be carried out at 12000 rpm for 5 minutes but as the larger centrifuge had the max speed of only 5000 rpm, centrifuge was done for longer time] 4. Supernatant was discarded and the pellet was mixed with 2 ml 0.9% NaCl solution. 5. The suspension was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 4 minutes. 6. Supernatant was discarded and the pellet was stored. DNA extraction • DNA extraction was carried out using Bioron Tissue DNA kit DNA concentration • Taster : 58.3 ng/µl [260:280 = 1.77] • Non-taster: 25.7 ng/µl [260:280 = 1.74]
