DNA Extraction Analysis in Sago

Metroxylon sagu or normally called as sago is an important edible crop in manufacturing starch. Sago plants are mostly found at the rivebanks and swamps throughout Borneo land. DNA extraction analysis was carried out to discover and isolate high quality of total genomic DNA from sago plants. L...
