[Here's yesterday's workup](https://eagle.fish.washington.edu/Arabidopsis/Notebook%20Workup%20Files/20091215-02.jpg) Results: ![](https://eagle.fish.washington.edu/Arabidopsis/20091217-01.jpg) Gel Loading (from left to right): Opsin Primers (lanes 2-10), Rhodopsin Primers (same loading order, lanes 12-20) 1 - 100bp ladder 2 - retina 3 - fin 4 - 4th arm 5 - dorsal mantle center 6 - dorsal mantle side 7 - ventral mantle center 8 - ventral mantle side 9 - H2O 10 - H2O Opsin Primers Single bands in retina, fin and ventral mantle center samples. Negative controls are clean. Bands will be excised and stored @-20C in Sam's "Purified Inserts" box for eventual sequencing. Tubes are labelled with a "2" to differentiate them from the gel run earlier today. Rhodopsin Primers Single bands in retina and fin. Double bands in ventral mantle center sample. Second band is very faint is ~700bp. Negative controls are clean. Bands, including the faint 700bp VMC, will be excised and stored @-20C in Sam's "Purified Inserts" box for eventual sequencing. Tubes are labelled with a "2" to differentiate them from the gel run earlier today.
