35S-GFP Composite Results - With careful inspection of my gels, I believed Lane 3 was a good candidate. I was looking for 2 bands, the composite at about 1.8kb and the pSB1C3 backbone at 2kb. Although, the image is not clean, I believed I saw a second band emerging in between the molecular markers which were 2kb and 1.6kb, making that emerging band at 1.8kb. Sequencing would prove me right

35S-GFP Composite Results - With careful inspection of my gels, I believed Lane 3 was a good candidate. I was looking for 2 bands, the composite at about 1.8kb and the pSB1C3 backbone at 2kb. Although, the image is not clean, I believed I saw a second band emerging in between the molecular markers which were 2kb and 1.6kb, making that emerging band at 1.8kb. Sequencing would prove me right
