Sample information

The temperature was around 64 degrees and this ant was collected in a small forrest area.

Methods

DNA Extraction: the whole ant was used.

1.)  Ladder

2.) Insect Sample #1 (bee)

3.) Insect Sample #2 (ant)

4.) + Fruit Fly

5.) – Fruit Fly

6.) + DNA

7.) – – water

Analysis: my controls worked. Lane six did spill over to lane seven though, so for the water lane we had to use lane eight. That would be why lane six and seven has a one big strand.

Results

For the Wholbachia gel, only the positive Wholbachia strand band was the only one that appeared. It makes me wonder if something went wrong, or if this could be an expected result. We also got no results on the positive DNA 6th lane which makes me more curious as to what could have happened.
