Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports the rationale and methods of DNA extraction and purification from nine species of Compositae and four commercial drugs of corresponding plant Elephantopus scaber. The comparison of three methods: CsCl gradient, CTAB/CsCl gradient and CTAB miniprep extraction by yield, purity and factors affecting PCR was carried out. In conclusion, CTAB miniprep method provides a rapid, effective, economic approach for isolating genomic DNA for Chinese drug identification by genomic fingerprints.

Key words: DNA extraction, DNA purification, CTAB miniprep, Genomic fingerprinting, AP-PCR
