Rotifer DNA extraction

  • add 1ml of 1M NaCl to a 6 well dish filled with rotifers, they curl up
    • each well is about 10ml, resulting in a 100mM NaCl solution
  • spin at 1000g for 5 minutes
  • put into 1.5 ml tube, spin again
  • wash with small amount of water and go to extraction kit (quiagen micro)
  • yield 7ug for vaga and 5ug for ricciae
60 ng A. ricciae DNA, far right lane
