摘要

DNA isolation from oil and fat samples has long been a technical challenge, mainly due to hydrophobic substances and some interfering compounds in PCR. We describe an optimized protocol enabling DNA extraction from Python oil and fat. Using a modified lysing and purification technique, we managed to recover approximately 300 bp PCR amplifiable DNA. This approach presents the potential genetic identification of the species from oil and fat-derived from python/reptiles for population genetics and forensic studies.
