'''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).
* This seems to indicate pretty clearly that doubling the reaction quantity caused the PCRs to fail. Will try again on JJ's and Bene's with 25ul.
