VI. Genomic DNA Isolation Systems<br />

Purified genomic DNA is necessary for further analysis of<br />

disease states, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)<br />

<strong>and</strong> for many other multiplex <strong>and</strong> real-time PCR<br />

applications. Many methods exist for isolation of<br />

chromosomal DNA, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Promega</strong> has genomic purification<br />

systems that are both general (able to isolate from many<br />

source materials) or specialized (primarily used for one<br />

source type). The source types range from bacteria to<br />

humans <strong>and</strong> can encompass tissues from blood to muscle<br />

<strong>and</strong> from leaf to seed.<br />

A. Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit<br />

The Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Cat.# A1120,<br />

A1125, A1620) is both a versatile <strong>and</strong> scalable system for<br />

isolating genomic DNA. With this system alone,<br />

chromosomal DNA can be isolated from whole blood<br />

(Walker et al. 2003), plant leaf (Zhang et al. 2004),<br />

Gram-positive (van Schaik et al. 2004) <strong>and</strong> Gram-negative<br />

bacteria (Flashner et al. 2004), mouse tail (Lee et al. 2005)<br />

<strong>and</strong> yeast (Martinez et al. 2004). Additional sample types<br />

like fungus (Ahmed et al. 2003), infected frog tissues<br />

embedded in paraffin (Pereira et al. 2005), saliva (Cox et al.<br />

2004) <strong>and</strong> flour beetles (Lorenzen et al. 2002) have also been<br />

used successfully with the Wizard® Genomic DNA<br />

Purification Kit. Not only is this genomic purification<br />

system successful with many sample types, it is also easily<br />

scaled for the quantity of starting material by adjusting<br />

reagent volumes to accommodate your needs. Additional<br />

references for the Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit<br />

or any of the <strong>Promega</strong> DNA isolation systems can be found<br />

on our Citations web site (www.promega.com/citations/).<br />

These authors investigated the amo operon of the marine<br />

ammonia oxidizer Nitrosococcus oceani. The bacteria were<br />

grown at 30°C for 3 weeks in 200–400ml batch cultures in<br />

artificial seawater in the dark without shaking. Genomic<br />

DNA was isolated from cells in stationary phase using the<br />

Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit. The isolated DNA<br />

was then used for PCR analysis.<br />

B. Wizard® SV Genomic DNA Purification System<br />

The Wizard® SV Genomic DNA Purification System (Cat.#<br />

A2360, A2361) provides a fast, simple technique for the<br />

preparation of purified <strong>and</strong> intact DNA from mouse tails,<br />

tissues <strong>and</strong> cultured cells in as little as 20 minutes,<br />

depending on the number of samples processed (up to 24<br />

by centrifugation, depending on the rotor size, or up to 20<br />

by vacuum). With some modifications, whole blood can<br />

also be used with this isolation system (<strong>Promega</strong><br />

Corporation, 2002). This is a silica membrane-based system,<br />
