How to read gel electrophoresis bands?
Gel electrophoresis is a versatile laboratory technique which separates DNA, RNA, and proteins according to their size and charge. Each band in an electrophoresis gel represents a specific molecular weight of a particular nucleic acid or protein. Here are the steps to read and interpret gel electrophoresis bands for DNA applications:

1. Image the gel: Proper imaging of the gel is essential for accurate band interpretation. Expose the gel to
First, it is crucial to understand the basic of gel electrophoresis, which is a laboratory technique used to separate DNA, RNA or proteins based on their size or electrical charge.

In gel electrophoresis, the sample is loaded into a well in the gel, a jelly-like matrix. An electric current is applied, causing the sample components to migrate through the gel. The smaller components move faster towards the negative electrode or anode, while
