Week 2 Lab: Gel Electrophoresis

Gel Electrophoresis Designs

Our group set out to make a design with the letters “HA”, standing for the name of one of our group members, Hines Alayah. We somehow ended up with “LU” instead. Sometimes biology happens by accident, so we have decided that “LU” stands for Love U.
