* JJ and Bene extracted DNA from cheeks on wed 20th 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.

We bought 5 home testing kits to check our results. Will is A-, as shown here. Each circle contains different types of antigens, and if your blood agglutinates in a circle it means you have that antigen.

==Extraction and PCR (Simon, Lui, Will) 26/2/13==
* Ran PCR with PB1 primers on JJ's sample from 20/2 and Bene's sample from 23/2.
* Did two reactions for each gDNA sample. 25ul total PCR reaction volume - 5ul dH20, 10ul template, 2.5ul each forward & reverse primers, 12.5ul Taq readymix
* Initial D - 96C 5 mins, then 40 cycles of D-96C 1 min, A-55C 30 secs, E-72C 1 min.
* Ran samples on gel to check PCR succeeded.
===Restriction digest===
* Incubated JJ's PCR product with Kpn1 at 37C for 65 mins. Restriction digest mix contained 25ul PCR product, 1ul Kpn1, 15ul buffer.
