Obtaining DNA coding for reflectin proteins was the vital first step in our project. Loligo tissue was sourced from fishing bait suppliers and culinary wholesalers in order to attempt genomic DNA extraction. From our literature search we discovered that the reflectin gene from E. scolopes contains no introns, so genomic DNA should be suitable for expression in E. coli.

Specimens of what we identified as Loligo vulgaris and Loligo opalescens were dissected for examination.
