We had problems with smeary DNA for the first time this year. We used the host Streptomyces griseofuscus, which we also used last year without problems. Eventually I found that the uncut DNA looked fine if I ran it out right after isolation, but even one day in the freezer and the DNA looked smeary. Sorry I don't have gels directly showing this but I have some gels showing non-smeary and smeary DNA. We eventually changed DNA preps and sent the DNA we got for sequencing. The good news is all the samples worked fine for sequencing.
