Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | On gel image 1 there is a faint band visible of our sample triangle 3 in the 6th slot. On gel image 2 there is also no band visible of our sample triangle 3 in the 4th slot. In the 3rd image you can see that our initial experiment didn’t give us good results. (Gel 1 and 2 were the results from the repeated experiment in october and gel 3 ist from our first try in september). |
