Gel Electrophoresis

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used in science to separate and analyze DNA, RNA, or proteins based on their size and charge. It involves placing molecules onto a gel and applying an electric current. The molecules move through the gel at different speeds, with smaller molecules moving faster and larger molecules moving slower. This separation allows scientists to study and compare different molecules based on their size and charge. Gel electrophoresis is commonly used in research, forensics, and medical diagnostics.
