Alu PV92 PCR
Purpose: To determine your genotype from the Alu gene and determine where your ancestors came from

Results
In this lab we came up with qualitive results. I discovered that I am homozygous negative. This means that either both of my parents are homozygous negative or one of my parents is heterozygous.
My whole group was homozygous negative. I placed my DNA in slot number five from left to right.
Analysis
Our lab had successful results. From the data we inferred that everyone in our group is homozygous negative. I can tell from looking at the stained DNA that it is lower in the gel at the 400 level. You can see this in the photo above.
Conclusion
The purpose of this lab was to determine your genotype from the Alu gene and to determine where your ancestors came from. From this lab I learned that I am homozygous negative. To make this lab more accurate I could have kept my area more sanitary and switch the pipet tips when I used different substances. Besides that, the lab was a success.
