Hi everyone, it's Jenny here! As one eagle-eyed viewer of this vlog spotted (thanks David!), I did the dipstick extraction slightly wrong. Thankfully it still worked for the PCR and (spoiler alert!) sequencing. Moral of the story: double-check when using a new protocol, especially when you're filming a vlog! For a demonstration of the dipstick DNA extraction method, please view our video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g3ajo6qBZNjWebA.html

Im a myco nerd! Im into wild preservation, cultivation, breeding gourmets. Nothing better to me than working with agar in front of a fan filter unit. The way mycelium grows is fascinating to me. I have been wanting to learn dna barcoding. I think i have some studying to do! Ur video was fascinating and informative

Bento Lab is too cool. Looking forward to Part II.

Thanks! We're also curious what the results will be... :)

a tip for getting clean uncontaminated tissue is to rip the stem into two parts and cut out a sample from the inside. don't use a blade to cut open the tissue, since the blade is "draging" contamination from the outer surface along with the cut.

@@fatimamoazam4490 just use your sanitized hands and pull it apart without touching the inside

Can't wait to get mine!!!!

what is the extraction buffer made of? is it possible to use a dish soap & NaCl solution like the one used to extract dna from strawberries?

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

how high did it get you?
