We run the gel with a set of 9V batteries (the power source blew up two weeks ago). After so long, it takes a while to find the patience to remember how difficult it is at the beginning to load anything in those little submerged almost-invisible wells. But we found our way. Everybody loaded at least one sample. They will load more next week. This is just the beginning. Not too bright, hehe, but we got at least a couple of samples of genomic DNA from Drosophila that we can use for PCR on Monday.
DNA visualized with GRGreen on a PhotoDyne UV box through an empty box of gloves to increase darkness.
Have a nice weekend!!!
PS: Even though I thought there might be enough DNA in that sample, not too well resuspended, I am afraid the big chunck of it was just RNA, which is clearly visible on the gel.
