Despite its exotic-sounding name, DNA is ubiquitous - it can be found in every cell of every living thing and almost everywhere on the planet. Nonetheless, we rarely come face-to-face with the molecule itself - and it’s not because DNA is difficult to find or isolate! In this instructable, we’ll show you how to isolate your own DNA with little more than some dish soap, table salt, high-proof alcohol, a shot glass, and a bit of your own saliva.
It only takes a couple of minutes, and after you’ve isolated your own DNA, you can either drink it back down in a tasty “DNA shot” (great party trick) or better yet, purify it further for more analysis. (Via instructables.com)
