Gel Electrophoresis

Gel Electrophoresis

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. Charged molecules move through a gel, when an electric current is passed across it based on their size (figure 1). Gel electrophoresis is an integral part of bioscience research and engineering. DNA profiling, DNA sequencing, and genetic … Read More

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a widely used method to separates molecules based upon charge, size and shape. It is particularly useful in the separation of charged biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins. This course covers agarose, advantages of agarose gels, general principle involved in agarose gel electrophoresis, and its applications. Agarose Agarose, is a … Read More
