✦ Synopsis
The absence of DNA from the blood serum of the toad Bufo arenarum was confirmed by classical colorimetric techniques and by a new method which allows differentiation between DNA and the glycosaminoglycans (GAG). A component of serum which had some of the properties of DNA was identified as a GAG. This component gave positive reactions in colorimetric assays for DNA, but the absorption spectra were completely different from those of authentic DNA. The compound was also not hydrolyzed at all by treatment with deoxyribonuclease.

An examination of variables affecting the yield of DNA from blood was undertaken in order to improve sample processing and to evaluate alternative methods of mailing blood samples for DNA analysis. A rapid, high-yield method was developed for the isolation of high-molecular-weight DNA from fresh and
