A colleague told me that phenol chloroform extraction is not the best and most contemporary way to extract DNA for exome sequencing. One of our sequencing center partners require us to extract DNA using this method. Is phenol chloroform extraction really less desirable and is there a better standard for extracting DNA out there? This question is about DNA from fresh peripheral blood samples where sample amount is not a limiting factor.
Thanks.
