During the week of October 25th, I worked on figuring out
what kind of protocol to use in order to do the cactus spine DNA extraction and
I was also working on finding sources for the final paper. Matt happened to
lend me some books such as A Natural History of the Sonoran Desert,
Environmental Biology of Agaves and Cacti, and Cacti Biology and Uses. The
paper will be about how I was able to extract DNA from a cholla and how I was
able to distinguish the polymorphic banding. I hope the protocol I use will be
able to produce a high yield of cholla DNA.
