sample of choice for non-tumor DNA

24 June 2012 - 04:20 AM

Hello everyone,

I am designing a project involving non-tumor DNA. We intend to do whole genome sequencing. So I was wondering  what would be the sample of choice? Buccal swab? Saliva? Chewing gum? Mouthwash?
Do I get enough material for next generation sequencing from these?
What are the considerations (smokers)?
Which are the pros and cons of there different methods (swab vs. saliva vs. other)?

Since I have no experience with NGS and isolation of DNA from such tissues any help/advise would be appreciated!! :o)

All the best,
the rat
