Individual Blog Post #2

My group was extracting proteins from duck,chicken, turkey and beef. In particular we were comparing the breast and the heart. We believe that beef will be the out group, we ran a gel electrophoresis two times to ensure accuracy and consistency in our results.


  We are finally able to look at both the gels we ran and I think there was one more clear or accurate than the other. My advice to other groups and even for myself for future reference is that it is good to run your experiment multiple times. It is also helpful to be very precise with these measurements of the bands. I think my group measured the bands 2-3 times on each gel because we wanted to get a very accurate result. We will most likely discuss how our second gel didn't seem to run that well compared to the first gel.
