DNA Isolation & Purification: DNA isolation is a process of purification of DNA from sample using a combination of physical and chemical methods. The first isolation of DNA was done in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher. Currently it is a routine procedure in molecular biology or forensic analyses. The procedure is based on alkaline lysis of bacterial cells followed by adsorption of DNA onto silica in the presence of high salt.
