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
