GlossaryDNA Extraction

process of isolating DNA from cells or tissues

DNA extraction, also known as DNA isolation, is the process of separating DNA from the cells or tissues of an organism. This involves breaking open the cell membrane, removing proteins and other contaminants, and then purifying the DNA so it can be used for various applications such as genetic testing, forensic analysis, or research.
