I was thinking of doing my honors project on the effects of Rodophycae on parasites. But i am unsure which species of red algae to choose.

Re: molecular cloning failure

Some more data would be helpfull. What kit did you use to get the DNA? How much did you load on the gel? Did you see the marker? Did you see other bands in the gel?

DNA extraction from Human blood

DNA looks good. There is some problem with electrophoresis. Probably you overloaded (too much DNA) and thus the wierd appearance of your bands. Try to load little bid less of sample and use lower voltage. stain the gel after electrophoresis, not before.
