Electrophoresis Gel
Prepared electrophoresis gel according to protocol
Loaded lanes as follows:
Lane 1: Hyperladder 1kb (5uL)
Lane 2: LacZ (mir-181c)
Lane 3: LacZ (mir-144)
Include lengths of dna
When loading wells with PCR products, used Parafilm to mix 1uL of 6X Orange dye with 5uL of sample and loaded 5uL of this mixture in a lane. Ran gel at 120V for 30 minutes.
