Gel electrophoresis is a technique used for DNA fragment analysis. It functions on the below principles:
- DNA is negatively charged and migrates toward the positive electrode during electrophoresis.
- Smaller fragments migrate faster and travel further through the agarose gel matrix.
- A DNA ladder (size marker) is run alongside samples to estimate fragment sizes.
