Resumen

Muestras de ADN de distintos crustáceos decápodos fueron obtenidas independientemente a partir de tejidos fijados en etanol y tejidos fijados en formol mediante un nuevo protocolo basado en el Tetrametilsilano (TMS)-Chelex. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el ADN no se encuentra atrapado de forma irreversible en una matriz proteica y que el éxito de amplificación no depende de la extracción de inhibidores de PCR solubles. Sin embargo, nuestros resultados indican que el éxito de amplificación depende de la presencia de ADN no modificado en la muestra. Se incluye un sencillo método de tinción que facilita la identificación de muestras con un alto contenido en ADN no modificado.
