==Discussion==
+
-
Two bands were found in all the lanes which is of approximately 150 bp and 80 in size.
+
-
 
+
-
==Conclusion==
+
-
This experiment shows that the PCR reaction was not successful for the Pspac_oid fragment.
+
-
The 80 bp band might be primer dimers. When the primer sequence was checked again, we found that there is a high complementarity within the primers itself and thus the amplification of the Pspac_oid fragment is not taking place due to the primer pairs joining together. The 150 bp band could be that of the Pspac_oid fragment. {{Team:Newcastle/footer}}
