Results and Analysis

Sequencing Results of Grass Samples.
  
     When we had added a sample of our extracted DNA to analyze PCR products by gel electrophoresis, we did not get good results. According the gel we extracted, after our sample was loaded, our samples did seem to contain any PCR production (if we had a steady PCR production in our samples a thin purple line would have appeared as a signifier that they were present. None of our samples had resulted with a purple line to indicate that our sample was not producing PCRs).
     
      After our sample had been sequenced, our samples turned out to only have one successful sequencing, the other two did not have a clear enough letter sequencing to correctly identify the species. You look below you can analyze our results from the sequencing. Once we had blasted the  successful sequence, we found that the most likely species of grass that our sample was was Festuca ovina (sheep fescue), and Deschampsia cespitosa (Tufted Hair-grass). After putting our top results into a family tree with other similar plants, we found its closest relative is wheat, from the similar plants we had selected.
