==Procedure==
==Procedure==
A step by step guide to the experimental procedure.
* grow culture in your favorite medium
 
* Mix samples directly with ice cold [[Killing Buffer]] in ratio 1:1 and put on ice (samples should be processed as fast as possible)
If you find it helpfull you could use the following icons to highlight important parts:
* Spin down cells 3 min max. speed at 4°C and discard supernatant
 
* resuspend in 300μL [[TE]] and add 40μL 10%SDS and 3μL 0.5M EDTA
[[Image:Difficult step.png]] icon to highlight difficult steps
* incubate 5 min at 65°C
 
* add 750μL isopropanole and mix
[[Image:Critical step.png]] warn about critical steps
* spin at max. speed for 5 min
 
* resuspend pellet in 500μL TE and add 2μL RNase A (25mg/ml)
[[Image:Time required.png]] help people plan how long steps will take
* incubate for 30 min at 65°C
 
* add 2μL [[proteinase K]] (25mg/ml) and incubate at 37°C for 15 min
[[Image:Pause point.png]] where protocol can be interrupted
* phenol extract (2x phenol & 2x chlorophorm)
 
* precipitate over night with 1ml ethanol and 40μL 3M Na-Acetate
[[Image:Optional step.png]] steps that can be omitted or included
* spin down DNA at 4°C for 15 min, wash in 70% ethanol and resuspend pellet in 50μL dH<sub>2</sub>O

It might also be good to add an image to show the workflow and timescales for experiment planning.
