DNA yield

DNA yield refers to the amount of DNA extracted from a biological sample. It indicates how much genetic material has been successfully isolated during a laboratory process. Higher DNA yield means more DNA is available for analysis, such as testing or research, while a lower yield suggests less DNA was obtained. Factors influencing yield include sample quality, extraction method, and sample size. Measuring DNA yield helps determine if enough genetic material is available to perform downstream experiments reliably.
