CSI Acalanes Results and Discussions.

Through electrophoresis, Katie Records DNA was matched to the DNA found upon the body of poor Trevor. The patterns in the DNA were exactly the only for Katie's DNA. The lab was really fun to carry through. Placing the DNA into the gel took a manner of precision and it really felt like we were practicing biotechnology for a living. The different coloring added to the long and short strands made it easy to identify. It was interesting that almost all the DNA samples had similar strand sections except for different strand. I believe some possible sources of error could be the partial breaking down of the DNA samples due to waiting overnight for the next class period. Also our table had the positive and negative ends mixed up and although I think we did it the right way it could be possible that we screwed up. Overall this was a very successful lab and I feel I learned a lot.
