**Purpose: Definite statement-what you are measuring/making and why.

**Background: Justify your purpose, back it up with citations (see references) and previous research.

**Methods: Limit to what the reader needs to know to understand the results. Present your plasmids, primers, constructs, sources of template DNA/RNA.

** Results: Graph, numerical, and visual data; use appropriate error bars, cropping and labeling.  Write a legend for each figure or group of figures.  Also write an analysis of your data.  It is what you expected: Why? Or Why not?

** Conclusion: Consistent with scientific purpose, sources of error, reference the figures and how the data supports or does not support your purpose.  Describe how your research fits with the current understanding of the topic.

**References: Specific primary papers used in your research. Use a journal format.
