DNA FROM GRASS

Post by yyyyy »

I am doing a project on extracting DNA from living and dead grass. I got a website with the instructions on how to extract DNA from living things.

Will this procedure work for my project?

Hi,

I'm not an expert in DNA extraction or anything, but it does look like that procedure should work with grass. You can always try it and see.

Let us know what happens!
