<p>The present invention relates generally to methods for extracting a nucleic acid from a sample comprising one or more cells containing the nucleic acid. The present invention also contemplates amplification of the extracted nucleic acids, particularly whole genome amplification of the extracted nucleic acids. The methods of the present invention are generally predicated on Iysing the one or more cells in a sample to release a nucleic acid and contacting the nucleic acid with a protease under conditions suitable for the protease to digest one or more proteins associated with the nucleic acid.</p> |
