* Odd that PC gDNA travelled further in gel than our extractions.
* Odd that PC gDNA travelled further in gel than our extractions.
* Also more confirmation that there's seemingly no correlation between strength of gDNA and strength of PCR product.

==Extraction and PCR (JJ, Bene, Will) 20-23/13==
* JJ and Bene extracted DNA from cheeks using [http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/Labs/Genetics/Buccal_DNA_isolation/buccal_dna_images_index.html this] protocol. Small amount of cheek cells for each.
* Ran PCR with PB1 primers on this + a positive control.
* 50ul total PCR reaction volume - 5ul dH20 (13ul for PC), 10ul template (2ul for PC), 5ul each forward & reverse primers, 25ul Taq readymix
* Initial D - 96C 5 mins, then 40 cycles of D-96C 1 min, A-55C 30 secs, E-72C 1 min.

* 20ul of PCR samples loaded, 20ul of gDNA samples loaded. 4ul loading buffer.
*1: JJ PCR product (no band)
*2: Bene PCR product (very faint band)
*3: PC PRC product (band)
*4: JJ gDNA (band)
*5: Bene gDNA (band)

'''Notes/Conclusions:'''
* PCRs either failed or were too weak to show. Differences in this reaction that could have affected the result were: we doubled PCR quantities, then loaded 20ul from the result. gDNA bands were fine, so strange PCR didn't work as PC was ok (but not strong).
