A partially automated method for DNA extraction from marmoset hair follicles to avoid blood chimerism

Alexandra’s paper is now available in Frontiers in Genetics. Abstract Marmosets are valuable non-human primate models, however their unique reproduction results in high levels of blood chimerism, making blood unreliable for DNA sequencing. Hair follicles have lower levels of chimerism however DNA extraction from hair follicles is challenging due to the limited tissue. We developed […]
