Tris-Acetate buffer keeps a solution slightly basic, which keeps DNA water soluble (the DNA is deprotonated, H+ is removed). EDTA sequesters metal ions which are used by many enzymes (particularly divalent Mg2+ ions).
50X Stock Solution
Add water up to a 1 L total volume, mix and give it time to dissolve.
1X Working Solution
Add 20 ml of 50X stock to 980 ml of water.
