3 12 2015 DNAzol with Fresh Tissue Pt. 2

Today I ran a gel using the freshly isolated DNA from yesterday. You can see the post about it here. The gel protocol is as follows.

75 ml TAE with 0.6 g Agarose and 7.5 ul EtBr.

Loaded the wells with 10 ul 100 bp ladder and 15 ul DNA loading solution (Mix of 15 ul DNA and 3 ul loading dye).

Well	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
Technique		Centrifuged				Spooled
Sample	Ladder	Test Oly 1	Test Oly 2	Test Oly 3	Test Oly 4	Test Oly 1	Test Oly 2	Test Oly 3	Test Oly 4	Ladder	Empty	Empty

Gel with Fresh Tissue Isolation

I have no idea where the DNA when. I saw a ton of it yesterday when I was extracting the DNA. I'm wondering if I missed it. When I was pulling the sample to load as it may have sank to the bottom of the tube and I collected off the top. On the bright side you can see two bands of HQ High molecular weight DNA. in the Centrifuged set. I will run another gel tomorrow to see if I can get better samples to appear on here. 

This makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the freezer tissue that has degraded the High molecular weight stuff. I talked to Andy yesterday and he told me all of his sablefish samples were stored in EtOH to avoid degradation. Either way this is up for consideration.

I ran the same protocol again this morning except this time I mixed the samples very well before pulling a sample from them. After running the gel, it looks almost identical except sample #1 looks better in the second sample. I'm not sure what happened with this protocol but supposedly that single band is confirmation of high quality high molecular weight DNA.
