This is DNA extraction day!
I took some plants from the campus gardens (uups!) and the students got to choose which plant or flower DNA they would like to extract and precipitate.

Some did better than others, but everyone tried really hard to get it right! And the reagents did make it harder to do it well, all because the extraction buffer had a "minor" problem...

This is biology guys! It almost always goes "not so well"! But so does art!

Can someone tell me what is that look all about?

too bad we didn't have more time to mess with the dna and make things with it!
