I found problem for my research. Please allow me to tell you guys my problem.
I identified the DNA of 2 types of snakehead (C. marulius & C. marulioides) with a total of 8 samples (1 for C. marulius & 7 for C. marulioides) but after BLAST I found that 3 samples were identified as C. marulioides, 2 samples identified as Osphronemus goramy, and the remaining 3 as bacteria and parasites. can you explain why it happened?
My question is
1. I know the answer is that the sample has been contaminated, but what I need is the reason why and the process for the primer reaction attach to DNA that I don't want (goramy & bactery).
2. What is the relationship between my snakehead fish sample and gouramy? does it have something to do with the primer I'm using?
3. if so is it because of the gc content in the primary?
I'm really very confused about this. I hope you can understand what I have explained, and I really need your help.
Thank you
