Extraction from mouse tail sample

DNA are extracted from mouse tail sample with Kaneka kit or Company A kit. 
Following that amplified by PCR.
Extraction efficiency is almost same between Kaneka kit (8 minutes protocol) and Company A kit (13 minutes protocol).

(*) Number of sample : n=3

Extraction from plant seed samples

DNA are extracted from plant seed samples (Melon, Onion, or Radish) with Kaneka kit or Company A kit. Following that amplified by PCR.
Amplification efficiency is almost same between Kaneka kit (8 minutes protocol) and Company A kit (80 minutes protocol).

Extraction from Yeast samples

DNA was extracted from Yeast (Pichia pastoris), which has genome insertion at two different genome regions and amplified by PCR. Extraction is done in 8 minutes. Kaneka kit can extract Yeast's DNA without using organic solvent.
