Sample information

Arthropod was collected in the backyard of a house. The backyard was grassy, had many plants growing and grown, had pear & apple trees, and the soil was a little dry.

Methods

Before being placed under UV light, the gel containing the DNA of all arthropods cracked on the ground. This means that the results of these samples may be inaccurate due to contamination and leakage of DNA.

Results

The confidence level is medium because of inaccurate results. Although the (+) Arthropod control and the DNA controls (+/-) appeared as expected, the DNA ladder and the (-) Arthropod control did not appear correctly. The breakage in the gel caused inaccurate data in Arthropod #1 and Arthropod #3 although Wolbachia was present in Arthropod #2.
