Summer Interns 2015 : 10-July-2014 This page last changed on Jun 05, 2015 by kgomes. This week, I ran multiple rounds of PCR on tissues from three different squid species and a nudibranch species. 2/4 rounds of PCR were successful (i.e. my primers amplified something). I ran the PCR products on a gel and cut out the most promising bands. I was able to get DNA from the bands, which was then sequenced. Good news: I have viable sequence for Pterygioteuthis! Basically, the photoprotein sequence that was found in a different species of squid appears to have similar genetic structure to the photoprotein sequence in Pterygioteuthis. Now I'll actually have something interesting to talk about during my presentation, even if nothing else happens during my project!
