The result of PCR from last week sample.
.external image 20090810.JPG
From top left is Water, Water, Sea Male #1, Bay, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and ladder. At the bottom is Water, Water, Sea Male #2, Sea,, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8 and ladder. Since this PCR used the primer Sea RV 2, the two sea male samples are positive. From the previous PCR with Bay reverse primer, all but one sample was positive. Meaning that all but one were Bay scallops and the negative sample, #13, was a Sea scallops. So the expected result for this gel should have only sample #13 that is positive while everything else should be negative. The actual result have everything as negative even sample #13. So something went wrong with sample #13, it should've been a positive for the PCR with the Bay reverse primer or positive with the Sea primer. Beside from that the rest of the result was expected.

There are no bands in the water sample so that means nothing is contaminated. Sea and Bay gDNA reacted with their reverse primer so they have bands in their lanes. But Sea and Bay band appear in different spot of the gel, this could be used to identify the two species.
