Blast Is Giving Me A Result Totally Unrelated To The Gene I Expect

Hello,

After I obtained the results from sequencing, I proceeded to curate the sequences and identifying (with Vector NTI) the primers I used in the sequence. The primers, although are degenerated, were found with no mismatches.

The problem is that when I blast the squence using BLASTn or BLASTX, the results are malate synthase, a gene/protein that I totally didn't expected and totally unrelated to the gene I'm interesed. These results were like 13 of the 20 sequences while 5 were of the gene I was expecting.

Please tell me what went wrong. I'm a bit desperate. I used a clone library with pGEM and chemocompetent DH5-alpha.
