To separate strands of DNA based on their size. Shorter strands will migrate more slowly than larger strands.
** Also because DNA is slightly negatively charged, it will move toward the positive end of the electrodes... this is why the current is used when running a gel. Short strand move further** than large ones due to the gel resistance.
To separate a mixture of DNA fragments from eachother
Separate DNA fragments.
Gel Electrophoresis
For larger molecules like proteins we use polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For smaller pieces like DNA we use agarose gel electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis
Yes it can be done if you use Poly-Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis.
Pulse field gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments by their size.
Gel electrophoresis is an analytical method used to separate DNA, RNA or proteins based on size
Gel Electrophoresis
To learn more about gel electrophoresis, one can Google it. There is also a whole Wikipedia article dedicated to gel electrophoresis, and it happens to be quite informative.
TBE buffer in gel electrophoresis is used to maintain pH of te solution and prevents the denaturation of smale fragments of DNA.
For larger molecules like proteins we use polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For smaller pieces like DNA we use agarose gel electrophoresis
yes for example 2D gel electrophoresis

The process is referred to as gel electrophoresis. This is an analytical process where DNA fragments can be separated based on size within a gel under the influence of an electric field
Yes it can be done if you use Poly-Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis.
Horizantal gel electrophoresis is generally used for RNA/DNA based studies, while vertical gel electrophoresis is used for protein based studies.
