I am planning to collect blood at a separate site for subsequent DNA extraction. I am after advice on the best methods of storage (type of tubes, temperature) and methods for DNA extraction (either in-house or commercial kits).
All comments appreciated.

Thanks

While I haven't isolated DNA from blood, I use a commercial kit from GENTRA [web-site: www.gentra.com] (distributor's address is given below) for my DNA isolations from fungi and yeast with good success. They also have protocols/technical reports for DNA isolation from blood.
