The three basic steps of DNA extraction are: Cell lysis - bursting opening the cell OR bacterium to liberate cell contents into the bulk of the medium. Precipitating proteins - this process separates nucleic acids from proteins, which is one of the two major contaminants in DNA extraction (the other major contaminant being RNA)
