Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | We are confident in our controls. For our positive control showed the two genes being expressed while the negative control only had one one gene, the COI. The water control also proved further our procedure was thorough for it did not have any genes.

| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Drosophila melanogaster was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
