Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method used to separate mixtures of DNA, RNA, or proteins according to molecular size. In gel electrophoresis, the molecules to be separated are pushed by an ...
Research from the Schneider Lab has uncovered a new mechanism of electrophoresis that attaches a very short piece of double-stranded DNA, which they call a nanosnag, to a viral genome. "The nanosnag ...
More background information about agarose gel electrophoresis and related techniques (e.g., blotting) can be found at these links. Detection of DNA on the gel can be manifested by the presence of ...
and does not require post-electrophoresis staining for fast and convenient results. Both the DNA and RNA systems are also suitable for downstream applications such as qPCR or sequencing. For DNA ...
In this form of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (transverse alternating field electrophoresis, also known as TAFE), electrodes are positioned on opposite sides of a vertical gel 1. The DNA moves ...
