Abstract
Methods of preparing nucleic acid from polysaccharide-containing samples for detection by providing one or more glycosidases to the sample to degrade polysaccharides are provided. The nucleic acids can further be extracted from the sample. The method is particularly useful for detecting nucleic acid in samples with high starch content.
Claims25
A method of preparing nucleic acid from a starch-containing sample, said method comprising:
- providing at least one starch-degrading enzyme to the starch-containing sample, thereby generating a starch-degrading enzyme-treated sample.

7-11. (canceled)
14-16. (canceled)
21-23. (canceled)
The method of claim 21, further comprising applying the starch degrading enzyme-treated sample to a column.
26-39. (canceled)
