==Discussion==
+
-
This gel is unclear in precisely what is present in the samples it can clearly be seen that there are in fact two bands in the single digest lanes (where there should only be one) and three bands in the double digest lane (where there should only be two).

==Conclusion==
+
-
It is our current belief that the [[Team:Newcastle/13_July_2010|plasmid extraction]] may have been performed incorrectly (there was one minor mistake during the procedure), so to this end an overnight culture of the original transformant colonies, as well as second round of transformants, will be performed, ready for plasmid extraction tomorrow.
