A Gel Of Mostly Fundulus bifax DNA, PCR amplified

I received the image below from Lance at IXG who is working to amplify and sequence a batch of samples I gave him of mostly Fundulus bifax DNA (and some F. diaphanus). I usually shy away from showing these images because it can get really tedious, but Lance was so excited that all 15 samples yielded very solid bands that you can see, which are all concentrated mitochondrial DNA, the cyt-b gene in particular. He told me I was a really good primer designer, which are short chunks of DNA used to begin amplifications. All I did was find what others have used, and give Lance the information. Anyway, I hope to receive sequences in the near future.
