Does anyone know what to stain DNA with and where to get it. After extraction, it would be great to look at it!

Any of the usual cell dyes will work. Toluidine Blue, Methylene Blue, or Aceto-Orcein will all stain the nucleus. Methylene Blue seems to work quite well, and is commonly suggested in text books.suea wrote:Does anyone know what to stain DNA with and where to get it.
