Protocol notes

DNA Extraction: we crushed the abdomen of the bugs well.

Gel electrophoresis lanes for arthropod
1- 10kb DNA Ladder
2- lane two is sample A-1
3- lane three is sample A-2
4- lane four is sample A-3
5- lane five is sample A-4
6- lane six is (+) arthropod control
7- lane seven is (-) arthropod control
8- lane eight is (+) DNA control
9- lane nine is the water control

Results
Wolbachia presence No
Confidence level High
Explanation of confidence level

All of the controls worked. as well as the arthropod band showed up which means that our DNA extraction was successful.
