A novel approach for extracting DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue using microwave

ConclusionDNA extraction from FFPE tissues is an onerous task as irreversible bonds form between the nucleic acid during fixation which are difficult to break during DNA retrieval. Hence, the microwave method provides good total genomic DNA which gives better downstream results when compared with other methods.
