I extracted DNA of an ascomycete by CTAB method, used 1% agarose gel to check presence of DNA, put 2.5 microliter Templat and 2 microliter dye into well no. 3, 4 and 5 and got this image.
It is not a good pic to comment, i barely see the wells and what is the concentration of loading dye that you used? In any case it seems that you have a contamination and they are not what you looking for.
It definitely does not look like genomic DNA; RNA perhaps? If I were you I would repeat the run but including a molecular weight marker. Also, I would take aliquots from both samples, treat them with RNAse and check them alongside the original, untreated samples.
I agree with Alejandro Martin that the two spots in the middle look like RNA. It also appears that you have a lot of flourescence at the top of the gel that makes it difficult to see. Although that might be from Ethidium bromide depending upon how it was applied to stain the gel.
Dear Faiza
Indeed, the picture is not clear, but it seems that You have genomic DNA band on the top near the bright cloud. The "smearing" looks like a degraded RNA. I am not sure about light spots on the bottom. How many samples do you analize in this run? I have had such results (similar, as I think) in gel after CTAB. Be carefull during "washing".
