Nuclear DNA Content Estimation of Seaweed by Fluorimetry Analysis.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)(2023)
Abstract
Fluorimetry analysis of nuclear DNA content allows identification of genome size and ploidy levels of different life phases, tissues, and populations in seaweed species. It is an easy method that saves time and resources compared to more complex techniques. Here we describe the methodology for measuring nuclear DNA content in seaweed species by DAPI fluorochrome staining and its comparison with the standard Gallus gallus erythrocytes nuclear content, one of the preferred internal standards. With this methodology, up to a thousand nuclei can be measured in a single staining session, allowing for a quick analysis of the studied species.
