Results
Wolbachia presence Yes
Confidence level High
Explanation of confidence level

 

The result is trustworthy, as all work steps were carried out properly and the DNA duplex worked. In YC2 you can see that a band appeared at 438bp. Therefore you can say that YC2 is a Wolbachia carrier. One band appeared at 708bp. This says that YC1 is an arthropod.
