Results

Wolbachia presence Yes
Confidence level Low
Explanation of confidence level

There is a band at approximately 438 base pairs. However, there is no second band at 708 base pairs, which signifies that there might have been some kind of mistake in the process. The result might be correct, if the primers simply did not catch onto the cytochromoxidase gene. (Position XJ2)
