Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
This experiment focused on an optimization protocol using DNA that students use in the laboratory component of the QBM teaching lab. Different agarose gel concentrations were tested, and 0.6% was found to create the best resolution and visibility for the given DNA. The experiment also helped me in becoming a better scientist as it taught me how to organize and structure myself in a research project, as well as how to be efficient with my time while producing good results.
