The Prestoâ„¢ Mini gDNA Yeast Kit was designed for rapid isolation of genomic DNA from cultured yeast and other fungus species. The yeast/fungus cells are directly added into beadbeating tubes containing ceramic beads and lysis buffer. Samples are efficiently lysed without the use of degestive enzymes (such as Lyticase or Zymolase) using a bead beating instrument or a standard vortex. The cell lysate is then mixed with Binding Buffer and the genomic DNA is bound by the GD Column. The column is then washed and the DNA is eluted with Elution Buffer. DNA phenol extraction or alcohol precipitation is not required and the entire procedure can be completed within 40 minutes. The purified genomic DNA is ready for use in PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, and sequencing reactions.
