When we cloned fungal xylanase gene with the method of Genomic walking PCR, we constructed a simple and cheap protocol for extraction of fungal chromosomal DNA.

This paper recommends a simple, rapid and economic method for skin fungal DNA extraction; also this method can be used in the quality detection of pathogenic dermatophytes in laboratory animals.

BACKGROUND: Extraction of fungal DNA plays an important role in fungal genetic engineering and molecular biology research.
