Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | The first time we completed the gel electrophoresis lab, I accidentally didn’t add some of the primers, so nothing was showing up. However, we later redid it correctly, and our results displayed no Wolbachia, and the controls worked. |
