Results |
|
Wolbachia presence | Yes |
Confidence level | High |
Explanation of confidence level | Through the Gel electrophoresis test, my positive and negative controls were switched leading the positive control to not have wolbachia and the negative control to have wolbachia. However, I was aware of this issue and my test gel electrophoresis control worked leading me to strongly believe in the results of the experiment. Plus the fact the wolbachia bands were very apparent. |
