A method is described for isolating DNA of high molecular mass (M(r)) from blackcurrant and other softfruit species. Following a hexacethylytimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-based extraction procedure, samples are treated with a glycosidic hydrolase mixture and RNase, and then purified. The suitability of this DNA for Southern analysis and genomic-library construction is demonstrated.
