Running DNA from purified gel
Lanes are as follows: 1kb ladder, samples 1+2, samples 3+4, 1kb ladder
Sent samples for sequencing
SEnt sample to PNACL to be sequenced
First trial of polystyrene combustion with DNA
- Tested with DNA covered strips and non DNA covered strips
- Tested with 1, 2, 3, 6 strips at a time.
- Burned with bunsen burner against a ruler to measure rate
- +DNA burned with yellow flame, black smoke and left carbon residue
- -DNA appeared to melt with into the more compact form of polystyrene and flame did not catch
- Experiment is being redesigned to improve it as results were not as expected
Shown here, the remains of the polystyrene strips. The +DNA strip is charred and the -DNA strip is melted and only a bit black
