where have our babies gone??

so in TDR II, we carried out a series of "mind-torturing" procedures, causing this..




 to produce a decent genomic DNA which was supposed to look sth like this:
















After a series of labourious methods:



"mortar-ing" onions with super freezing cold Nitrogen



to the extent that there were snowflakes formed



and HongSan driven mad..



then running them thru gel electrophoresis





then, at last, wat did we get?
......
nothing. just no bands. no bands!! we were really disappointed that not even one photo of the UV image were taken.. sorry for that but, really, it's REALLY disappointing that we lost all our babies after such labourious and time-consuming (took us weeks!!) work.. *sighs* the worst thing being: i did make a lil mistake when loading the sample.. *SIGHS*
