A Gel was run with the Colony PCR samples from 9/10. The gel was made with 8ml 5XTBE in 40 ml Water and 0.4g Agarose and 0.8μL EtBr 10μL were loaded into each lane and a 100bp Ladder was used. The lanes of the gel are as follows

1	2 	3 	4 	5 	6	7 	8 	9 	10 	11 	12 	13 	14 	15 
Lad	K60-1 	K60-2 	K60-3 	K60-4	K60-5	N64-1	N64-2	N64-3	N64-4	N71-1	N71-2	N71-3	N71-4	Lad 

Expected Results

Expected Results =gene length +316 for the flanking regions between primers and insert Lanes 2-6 will run at 810+316=1126 Lanes 7-14 will run at 573+316=889
