How to read gel electrophoresis bands?
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
Are you dealing with a DNA gel electrophoresis experiment and wondering how to interpret the results? In this article, we’ll provide you with an overview of how to understand and read gel electrophoresis bands, focusing on applications in DNA studies. We’ll also discuss common issues and pitfalls in interpreting results.
