DNA Extractions for Common Garden Project

I ran out of columns in the EZNA Mollusc kit and the new one I ordered hadn’t come in yet. Since I’m trying to finish all of the South Sound and Hood Canal extractions before I leave on Sunday, I decided to do one set of extractions with the Qiagen DNeasy Kit. I’ve used this kit successfully for my population structure project. Annoyingly, I grabbed the wrong set of samples and ended up re-extracting ones I had done previously. I guess the more DNA, the better. These are notated with a B in the sample sheet. Used Qubit to get DNA concentrations.

Since today felt like a wasted day, I decided to set up some extractions to finish tomorrow morning. I was also out of Qiagen columns, however, so looked into regenerating some of the EZNA columns. Based on references here and here I added 500 uL of 1 M HCL to used EZNA columns and left them overnight. I made sure to only reuse columns that had previously been used for South Sound extractions just in case there is any DNA carry-over.
