DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Molecular biologists at the Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry Laimburg in Northern Italy, have developed a semi-automated procedure for extracting and isolating high quality DNA from cereal crops, using the Te-MagS™ magnetic separation module from Tecan (SWX: TECN). The researchers are performing large-scale microsatellite marker analysis to genetically characterize local cereal landraces, in order to establish and maintain a germplasm collection for these crops.
