Friday...

Wednesday, I was in the lab again. Another undergrad and I prepared and ran a gel, but the results were somewhat of a flop. One of the issues may have been that we didn't have enough tissue to work with, so our DNA sample was too minute to give us any good results.

Thursday, Frans's team was busy putting the finishing touches on a research paper, so it turned into another independent reading and research day.

Today, we should be re-running PCR, and maybe we will have time for some more gels. I'm hoping that we get more conclusive readings this time around.

    Hi Josh,
    Welcome to scientific research! It definitely does not always go the way you expected. Although the failures are frustrating, they sometimes make the success all that more rewarding.
    Reading is also an important part of scientific research. I hope you are enjoying it.
    Your posts are fabulous! Keep it up! :)
