What exactly is this? I’m no man of science aha
I think this basically just tests how heavy chromosomes/DNA-strands are. By that you can see how long they are. The many lines on the side are the reference-ladder.
The clear lines in the second pic indicate a very clean sample of similar length DNA, while the smears in the first indicate some form of contamination.

Its some form of blot. Like a western blot or a northern blot or something.
Edit: the joke is that your blot is kinda bad and doesn’t have clear bands while their blot is really good and strongly identifies the target, dna, rna or protein.
I’m fairly certain it’s a PCR test, aka how they read DNA (pls correct me if I’m wrong)(See other comments below)please correct me if I’m wrong
Okay :)
U da best
More specifically, can you explain the joke? Why am I not worrying (but secretly worrying) about this guy with DNA tests almost the exact same every time?
Haha, you’re (the metaphorical you) the shitty sample that got messed up, the other guy is the perfect sample that didn’t go wrong.
Hey, at least the samples are still in the gel rather than the buffer solution!
