I. What have you learned?

I have learned new techniques in the laboratory. I learned about how to improve some techniques that I already knew. I have learned that the research requires a lot of dedication.

II. What barriers and challenges you have to confront for began to realize you research?

The economy was a challenge because we have to work and deal with the materials that we have. For example is will be greater a gel of acrylamide than an agarose gel but the budget and the equipment don’t allow us that. Also a barrier has been the place where we sent our DNA for receive the sequences. Because we still waiting, and probably we have to make again mini preps because of the University that don’t sent us all the sequences of the DNA that we sent them.

III. How have you overcame the barriers and challenges?

With patience and acceptation of the reality of the research.

IV. What are do you expect for next semester?

I expect to have the sequence of the mutagenic DNA of GFP for made a comparison between the original and the mutagenic that we created. Also I expect to begin the characterization of the protein GFP.
