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
