Sample information

captured: in the garden on a pear in Oberweningen

condition: dead when caught, then frozen and preserved in alcohol

Methods

In both PCR processes meaningful/good results could be observed. We refer to the results in lane 8 (picture 1) and lane 3 (picture 2).

Results

In both PCR processes meaningful/good results could be observed. We refer to the results in lane 6 (picture 1) and lane 2 (picture 2). In the first process you can see a soft/weak line/mark on the gel. It’s not as strong as in the other two lanes that showed a mark.

Sequence quality: very poor/ failed
We took a short (41 bases) section of the DNA and there must have been caught a CO gene, which is the same in many different species, only if we had a larger section of the DNA we would have seen differences. We would have to do the sequencing again.
The results showed the sequence matched with “Chalarus Decorus”, “Pipunculidae” and “Eriocrania”.
“Chalarus Decorus” is a species of fly in the family Pipunculidae. The insect we caught was a wasp, so it must have been a common gene segment from common ancestors.
