DNase I SIM

DNase I Simplified in-Nucleus Method for plants

This method is a simplified DNase I protocol specifically intended for plants(Cumbie et al., 2015). It contains an additional step of nuclei purification in Percoll gradients prior to DNase I digestion, in order to remove cellular debris and starch granules more efficiently. A DNA end-polishing step, using T4 DNA polymerase, is performed directly in the nuclei following DNase I digestion. These additional steps obviate the need for gel purification and its attendant loss of material.

Advantages:

  • Does not require gel purification

Disadvantages:

  • Optimized for plants only
