Protocol: Salmon sperm DNA

(4/4/06) p1 of 1

Salmon sperm DNA For use in yeast transformations and blocking agent in blotting Use a better grade as a carrier in nucleic acid precipitations

1.

Weigh out 400mg dried salmon sperm DNA (eg. Sigma Sperm nuclei type II-S; S3126) Cut the strands with scissors to small fibers.

2.

Place DNA in a 50ml Falcon tube. Add ddH2 O to 40mls (10mg/ml final). Swirl to release trapped bubbles.

3.

Heat tube in 65oC bath overnight to dissolve DNA. Invert tube occasionally to aid resuspension.

4.

When in solution, the DNA will be a gooey mess. Sonicate at about 50% power for a minute at a time for several cycles until the solution becomes less viscous. A good rule of thumb is when bubbles can rise easily to the top (this is real rocket science).

5.

Pierce the lid of the Falcon with a needle and place in a beaker of boiling H2 O for 15 minutes. Repeat sonication.

6.

Cool and dispense 1ml aliquots. Store at –20o C.

7.

To use as a carrier in yeast transformations pierce cap and boil for 5 mins. Store at 4o C for repeated usage.
