Methods Digest, Vol 47, Issue 16

Dear Manish, 

As the DNA is not in the chloroform phase, it is in the aqueous phase which contains the phenol (i.e. the phenolic phase), too. Maybe I haven't expressed that clearly enough (I wrote "phenol phase" which of course is not correct, there is no separate phenol phase, of course.

Best regards,

Wo
