In the week of April 16th I ran gels on the DNA samples I amplified with the PCR. It did not turn out very well;I was a bit disappointed in how the amplification turned out. I wanted to see bright,beautiful polymorphic bands, but only recieved unclear, smeared remnants of my DNA in the gel. I had used primers 1 & 2 to amplify two sets of samples. I used four samples of DNA with primer 1; one control DNA extraction and four other DNA extractions with a novel method. I did the same samples for primer 2 as well. When I ran a gel on each primer to see which primer would amplify the DNA better, I did not see good results. Below are the pictures of the gels and how they turned out.
