Results to the Lab GMO or not?

The photograph above is a picture of the results from the Gel Electrophoresis. On lane one we inserted a sample containg Non- GMO food control with plant primers. In other word, in this lane food that is was not genetically modified and came from plants was inserted. And as you can see from the diagram we did get a reall light bearly visible band. Which means that our contol sample was in fact derived from a plant. While, in lane two we inserted Non- Gmo food contol with GMO primers. Which is almost like lane one the only difference is that in this lane our Non- GMO control sample now has GMO DNA. As you can see in lane two there is no band, which means our contol was not a GMO. However, lane three was our actual sample of tortilla chips with plant primers. In this lane we expect to see a band because tortilla chips originally come from plants. And as said we did see a band in lane three, confirming that our chips do originally come from plants. Lane four was our sample of tortilla chips with GMO primers. For this lane we don't know wehter or not we will see a band, because we do not know for a fact if tortilla chips are GMO's or not. That is the reason why we are conducted the Gel Electrophoresis. From the results of our gel we can view a very light band almost hard to see but it is their. Because, we saw a band in lane four that means that in fact the tortilla chips are genetically modified. Lane five is our GMO positive DNA with plant primers. This lane is a sample of an actual GMO with plant DNA. And this lane will verify that our GMO positive did come from a plants. And in fact lane five sample was derrived from a plant because a band was visible. Lane six is the GMO positive DNA with GMO Primers. This lane will once again verify that our tortilla chips sample are indeed GMO's. Because a band was able to be seen from the gel tortilla chips are modified.

  1. With you gel I see that the wells are slanted, would that affect your gel results?
