How to Extract DNA from Anything Living

[UncleAl]

1) Don't diddle with anything called "cute" by PETA. Stay with stuff that grows in a Petri dish.

 

2) Yeast is cheap and available in any supermarket baking stuff aisle. It's colonies are white.

 

3) Serratia marcescens is deep red. Sarcina Lutea is bright yellow. Chromobacterium violaceum is a lover,

Pigmented bacteria sets

 

4) Grow a big batch of colored bacteria. Extract their DNA. Expose damaged growing yeast to the DNA (e.g., remove cell walls, then electroporation, then recovery) and see if you can get mutated colored yeasts.

 

5) Or just plate the little fellas (and mixed cultures) and blast with UV, charting survival and dominance vs. UV dose and color,

Here's one:

 

1. Shag your neighbour's daugher.
   
2. Inspect the offspring for any resemblance to you.
   
3. If the offspring does indees show signs resembling you, deny any culpability.
   
4. SKIP TOWN.
   

Not a very noble experiment, but it does serve to illustrate heredity, at least.

Do I have to use electrophibrosis to identify dna or are their other methods, using enzymes?
