Agarose Gel Electrophoresis and Gel Interpretation
Agarose gel electrophoresis is a biotechnology technique that uses electricity and a porous gel matrix to separate mixtures of molecules based on their charge, shape, and size. It is commonly used to separate dyes, proteins, and nucleic acids like DNA
and RNA. In particular, it is especially useful in analyz- ing mixtures of DNA fragments generated by restriction enzyme digestion. During agarose gel electrophoresis, these DNA fragments are separated into distinct bands according to their respective sizes.
