Gel Electrophoresis for Visualization of Nucleic Acid
摘要
Gel electrophoresis is a procedure used in molecular biology to identify and separate molecules (such as DNA, RNA, protein complexes) with varying conformations, charges, or size. Loading RNA and DNA onto the gels enables the assessment of fragment sizes by separating the RNA and DNA fragments. This is achieved by the use of charge within the particles. Distinct bands at set sizes are formed when these fragments separate.
