Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of the research was to compare three protocols: Extraction with SDS; Extraction with CTAB and 2β-mercaptoethanol and Extraction with SDS and proteinase K, to determine the most appropriate method to obtain DNA of high molecular weight and purity in slug epithelial tissue: Arion subfuscus and Deroceras reticulatum. DNA concentration and purity were estimated spectrophotometrically (absorbance at 260 nm and Abs260/Abs280 nm ratio). A completely randomized design with six replicates was used. Significant differences (p
