What is gel electrophoresis and how is it used to analyze
Gel electrophoresis is a common method to study DNA. It is a
very basic way of comparing the mass (mostly size or length of
DNA).
The main principle behind gel electrophoresis is that DNA has a
slight negative charge. When put in a gel (usually agarose gel) DNA
will travel through the gel towards a positive charge, which is
generated by the electrophoresis machine.
The basic idea behind it, is that DNA will travel through the
gel towards the positive pole and away the negative pole of the
electrophoresis machine. The smaller the fragment, the further it
will travel towards the positive pole, as it will go through the
gel quickly. The larger fragments will travel slower towards the
positive pole, and will travel less compared to the small
fragments. This is how one can quickly compare size of DNA
fragments, and possibly even compare between 2 or more DNA strands
and find similarities.

What is the purpose of a control sample that is known to be from bighead carp in Edna surveillance
to see if samples contain the target DNA
Why would scientists use a control sample that has no DNA from bighead carp in eDNA surveillance
to verify that no DNA has contaminated the gel
