Results |
|
Wolbachia presence | No |
Confidence level | High |
Explanation of confidence level | There was no question that my insect was negative for Wolbachia, as it comes from a historically low Wolbachia infected order, and the gel electrophoresis results controls performed as expected. No band was present for the Wolbachia gene, demonstrating that it was negative. |
Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
Arthropod COI sequence |
