July 5-July 9

This week I have been working on creating triplicates of some of my samples using different types of PCR, but I have only been successful in two out of my growing number of samples. I was only successful in cloning one of my two samples, and I might be able to get it sequenced soon. Unfortunately, when I checked for inserts, my fragments proved that the cloning was successful, but they were not cut at the right lengths so the cloning may have been unsuccessful also. I also had to do a short 5 minute powerpoint presentation on Friday on what I do to the other interns. It was ok.
