That is my mistake, I misspoke in the presentation. Our negative controls are the wells containing -RT. So in all our primers, we have two negative controls: -RT HU and -RT UT. Because no bands were produced in the negative controls as we expected, we can be sure that our results are reliable.
Since our results were inconclusive, I would like to perform the same experiments to determine whether our gene actually has a role in the DNA repair pathway.

If there is no positive control how can you be sure that yours works if you have nothing to compare it to?

what is the difference between cDNA and gDNA?
LikeLike
The difference between cDNA and gDNA is gDNA has exons and introns while cDNA does not.

Do you have any genes you would like to research that you hypothesize have to deal with DNA damage?

Our gene is homologous to homo sapiens, so it would be interesting to see if the gene in humans would play a role in the DNA damage repair as well.
