The fresh feces of badger (Meles meles) were collected from the dam of Jing-Hang Canal near Yangzhou,and five DNA extraction methods including amylum-subsiding method,preprocess-organicsolvent extraction method,NaCl modified method,GuSCN-SiO2 method and QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit method were used to extract the DNA from them.The results showed that the highest amplification success rate was in the amylum-subsiding method.In this study,fecal sample was lysed rapidly with digested solution,then DNA was extracted using chloroform/phenol after incubation with proteinase K,following by purification to remove numerous potential PCR inhibitors.The mitochondrial DNA control region and 5 microsatellite loci were amplified.showing that the mitochondrial DNA control region sequenced successfully.Our results suggested that DNA extraction based on this method was reliable.
