Serving as a DNA molecular weight standard, the DNA ladder has been widely used in molecular biology applications. We developed a simple method for the preparation of a DNA marker, which involves designing primers to amplify 100- to 1000-bp DNA fragments using lambda DNA as a template for polymerase chain reaction, followed by extraction with phenol/chloroform, precipitation with ethanol and mixing. Fragments of 100- to 1000-bp DNA were successfully amplified; the sequences showed 100% identity with lambda DNA.
