Selective Extraction of Genomic DNA From Animal Tissues Using a Hydrophobic Magnetic Ionic Liquid.

The development of green and efficient methods for genomic DNA extraction from animal tissues is crucial for molecular diagnostics, food traceability, and genetic research. Conventional methods often involve toxic reagents, multiple centrifugation steps, and are time-consuming. In this study, a hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquid (MIL), N-octyl-4-dimethylaminopyridinium hexafluorophosphate MIL ([C8DMAP][PF6]‑Ni MIL), was synthesized and applied for the selective extraction of genomic DNA from various animal tissues. The material exhibited strong paramagnetic behavior, high thermal stability, and excellent hydrophobicity, enabling rapid phase separation under an external magnetic field. A mechanical shaking-assisted extraction method was developed, and key parameters including temperature, time, shaking speed, and [C8DMAP][PF6]-Ni MIL dosage were systematically optimized. The method demonstrated high selectivity for DNA over proteins, RNA, and amino acids, with a maximum recovery rate of 78.06 ± 1.91%. Compared to a commercial DNA extraction kit, the [C8DMAP][PF6]-Ni MIL-based approach provided higher yields from several tissues, including mouse liver, brain, and rabbit lung. Furthermore, the [C8DMAP][PF6]-Ni MIL could be reused for at least six cycles while maintaining extraction efficiency. This work not only provides a high-performance material for DNA extraction, but also demonstrates a sustainable and easily retrievable liquid-phase separation strategy, offering a generalizable platform for complex sample pretreatment.

Electromagnetically induced fluid streaming as a possible mechanism of the biomagnetic orientation of organisms.

The results show that both the direction and the intensity of the geomagnetic field can be sensed within the chamber of a Zeiss Cytopherometer. This suggests that electromagnetically induced fluid streaming might play a role in the perception of the geomagnetic field by organisms, although it is not clear at present in which organ the perception occurs. A basic requirement for such an organ would be an anisotropy of cells or cellular structures. The nervous system with its parallel axons, or specific cells associated with the nervous system, could thus be possible locations of the sensitivity towards magnetic fields.
