Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, specifically relating to a crab meat DNA extraction kit and extraction method. Background Technology
[0002] As a major aquaculture nation, China accounts for one-third of the world's total aquatic product output and approximately 60% of global aquaculture production. The rapid development of the aquaculture industry relies heavily on biotechnology. Molecular biology methods, by tracing the nucleotide sequences of organisms' genes and studying their structure and function, help explore aspects such as aquatic product breeding and reproduction, diseases, and immunity. In particular, people's fondness for aquatic foods has led to an increasing focus of research on the breeding and cultivation of aquatic organisms. Currently, aquaculture faces several challenges, including a limited number of genetically modified varieties, severe diseases, and low breeding rates.
[0003] Qualified sample DNA should possess the integrity of the primary nucleic acid structure and minimize contamination from RNA, protein, and polysaccharides. In aquatic organisms, such as crabs, the muscle is loose and fragile, and contains high levels of protein. Due to the different cellular and tissue characteristics compared to terrestrial organisms, conventional DNA extraction methods cannot yield high-quality crab meat DNA. Summary of the Invention

[0053] 80% ethanol.
[0054] 3. Elution solution
[0055] 10mM Tris-HCl.
[0056] Example 2: Method for extracting DNA from crab meat
[0057] First, prepare a 2mL sample tube and add one sterilized steel ball each with a diameter of 6mm and 3mm.
[0058] (1) Add 1 mL of lysis buffer (lysis buffer 1 or lysis buffer 2 prepared in Example 1) to the grinding tube, and use scissors and tweezers to take a certain amount (about 500 mg) of Chinese mitten crab meat into the grinding tube, and use a grinder at 50 Hz for 3 min.
[0059] (2) Place the sample tube in a 65℃ water bath for 15 minutes;
[0060] (3) Place the sample tube in a 70℃ water bath for 15 minutes;
[0061] (4) Place the sample tube in a centrifuge at 8000g for 15 minutes, and transfer the supernatant to a new 2mL centrifuge tube;
[0062] (5) Add about 0.5 times the volume of the supernatant to the centrifuge tube and mix by inverting or vortexing until the solution is completely emulsified and turns white.
[0063] (6) Place the centrifuge tube in a centrifuge and centrifuge at 13000g for 10 min at 4℃. Transfer the supernatant to a new 1.5mL centrifuge tube.
[0064] (7) Add about 0.6 times the volume of supernatant to the centrifuge tube and mix well with magnetic beads (Hangzhou Lianchuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), mix well by blowing and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes;
[0065] (8) Place the centrifuge tube on a magnetic rack and let it stand for 5 minutes until the solution is clear. Discard the supernatant.
[0066] (9) Keep the centrifuge tube on the magnetic rack, add 200 μL of rinsing solution, let it stand at room temperature for 30 seconds, and then discard the supernatant;
[0067] (10) Repeat the above steps once;
[0068] (11) Remove the centrifuge tubes from the magnetic rack and allow the magnetic beads to dry at room temperature for 5 minutes;
[0069] (12) Add 100 μL of elution buffer, mix well by pipetting, resuspend the magnetic beads, and let stand at room temperature for 5 min.
[0070] (13) Place the centrifuge tube on a magnetic rack and let it stand for 5 minutes until the solution is clear. Then, transfer the supernatant to the corresponding new sample storage tube and store it at -20°C.
[0071] DNA was extracted from three crab meat samples using lysis buffer 1 and lysis buffer 2, respectively. The agarose gel electrophoresis results are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown. Simultaneously, the inventors also used the Tiangen "Blood / Cell / Tissue Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (DP304)" to extract DNA from three crab meat samples according to the method provided in the kit. The agarose gel electrophoresis results are as follows. Figure 3 As shown.
[0072] Therefore, it can be seen that using lysis buffer 1 and the method of this embodiment to extract DNA from crab meat yields the largest amount of DNA sample.
[0073] The inventors further measured the concentration and OD260 / OD280 of each DNA sample. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0074] Table 1. Concentration and OD260 / OD280 of each DNA sample
[0075]
[0076] As shown in Table 1, the DNA sample obtained by using the lysis buffer 1 prepared in Example 1 in combination with the extraction method of this example has the highest concentration, reaching 212.2 ng / μL, and the highest purity.
[0077] Example 3: Effect of lysis buffer formulation on DNA extraction from crab meat
[0078] To further improve the extraction efficiency of crab meat DNA, the inventors further optimized the formulation of the lysis buffer, specifically by adjusting the SDS concentration and increasing proteinase K. The detailed scheme is as follows:
[0079] Lysis buffers containing 0.2%, 0.6%, 2.4%, and 3.2% SDS were prepared, and crab meat DNA was extracted according to the method described above. The final DNA samples were analyzed for sample concentration and OD260 / OD280 ratios, and agarose gel electrophoresis was performed for detection.
[0080] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in Table 2,
[0081] Table 2. Concentration of DNA samples and OD260 / OD280 ratio
[0082] SDS concentration Concentration (ng / μL) OD260 / OD280 0.2% 75.8 2.50 0.6% 83.2 2.64 2.4% 129.5 2.83 3.2% 76.3 2.66
