BLOOD processing for DNA extraction

[vid mohan-ram]

>I'm trying to determine what may be the best blood processing protocol for

two good methods.....guftason et al analytical biochemistry, 165, 294-299, 
1987...this uses 'normal' organic extraction and the authors did a good 
set of controls using different anticoagulants etc and processed the 
samples at different times etc....

secondly lahira et al, Nucl. Acids Res. 19, p5444, 1991..is a very nice 
protocol....NO ORGANIC handling which is nice..very quick and you dont need to 
pellet your cells before hand....works by sucrose lysis and salting out

hope these help
