摘要
In conclusion, we report an improved method for extraction and purification of termite nucleic acid from the FTA® Plantsaver Card (Whatman), which involves elution with TE buffer (pH 8) and purification with Wizard® DNA Clean-Up System (Promega). Our DNA recovery protocol requires less material, equipment, preparation, and manipulation, and reduces processing time, costs and chances for contamination compared with the manufacturer-recommended FTA® purification protocol. Most important, in relation to our study, it has been consistently effective in obtaining termite nucleic acid permitting further DNA analysis when all other methods have failed.
