Week 5: Contamination

This week has been less succesfull than I had hoped. Every PCR reaction I run has amplified DNA in the control. This makes it impossible to get meaningful data. Something is contaminated with DNA but it has not been clear what reagent it is exactly. Until I find the source of the contamination I cannot proceed with project. Other than those troubles, I have been working on getting extended USE sequences for other Cercozoan species so that I may design more affective primers.
