How to read gel electrophoresis bands?
To read a gel electrophoresis band, follow these steps:

1. Examine the gel image: Before interpreting the bands, ensure that the gel image is clear, and the bands are well-separated. The bands should appear as dense, smudgy regions within the gel, and the background should be relatively clear.

2. Determine the size of the bands: Compare the bands to a molecular weight marker or ladder that is usually included
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
