DNA at last

Last few days had been quite hectic, starting from the 1st Day of 2008.

The objective was isolation and amplification of 587 bp region of Beta-globin. Started with isolation of buffy coat. I think this was the trickiest step, required lots of anticipations and assumptions. But I think we're very lucky, it didn't take much of our time. Then the DNA isolation and PCR. Today we've successfully completed PCR.

I'm very excited about tomorrow's work!
