Everything that I did in the GGC lab today was just that. I was a little rusty getting back to doing things; I put the PCR plates in backwards on accident and then later ran my gel upside down for about a minute before realizing it. Everything turned out alright though! I did my temperature gradient on the primers with a random male's DNA, then ran the PCR products on a gel. After this, I packed up all my materials for the research and drove back to Wofford. I don't think I've EVER been so careful driving. So much DNA and research material . . . it's precious cargo. Once I got back I labeled and put up everything that needed to be refrigerated/frozen. I also wrote down an inventory of everything I brought. To succeed with this research, I must be organized!
That's all for today, hopefully tomorrow I can get a lot done with initial PCR and gels. I'm off to make a protocol and schedule!
