Preparing samples to be sent to be sequenced by PNACL
Repeating the combustion experiment
- Blocks of both DNA and no DNA coating were made
- Blocks are thicker than last experiment to observe the difference
- Both DNA and no DNA blocks were sprayed with water and dried for equal treatment conditions
Second attempt at polystyrene combustion with DNA
- Larger strips were used
- DNA was spread on some and water was spread on some other
- Strips were left to dry on the bench
- some strips were cut from a block of polystyrene which was made with DNA
- Each strip was burnt with a bunsen burner with a ruler and filmed to compare the rate of burning
- Results were not as expected, DNA appeared to make no difference except a blacker remnant
