Gel electrophoresis of large DNA or RNA is usually done by agarose gel electrophoresis. See the "Chain termination method" page for an example of a polyacrylamide DNA sequencing gel.

Upon electrical stimulation, smaller fragments of a molecule will move faster through the gel than larger fragments. The process is typically done to separate DNA fragments after the DNA has been cut with restriction enzymes.

Gel electrophoresis is a group of techniques used by scientists to separate molecules based on physical characteristics such as size, shape, or isoelectric point.

Gel electrophoresis
The process of separating charged species by subjecting them to a voltage gradient. A gel (made of agarose or polyacrylamide) provides mechanical support and prevents mixing of the molecules being separated.

gel electrophoresis
(jell eh-lek-troh-for-ee-sis)
The separation of nucleic acids or proteins, on the basis of their size and electrical charge, by measuring their rate of movement through an electrical field in a gel.

Gel: A dense net work of fine particles dispersed with water (Jell-O is a gel). Used to separate different-sized strands of DNA.
Gene: The fundamental unit of heredity.

gel That state of a colloidal system in which the solid particles form the continuous phase and the fluid medium the discontinuous phase.

GEL SHIFT - A method by which the interaction of a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) with a protein is detected.
Full article >>>

Gel electrophoresis: A method to analyze the size of DNA (or RNA) fragments. In the presence of an electric field, larger fragments of DNA move through a gel slower than smaller ones.

Gel shift assay: (gel mobility shift assay, band shift assay) A method by which one can determine whether a particular protein preparation contains factors which bind to a particular DNA fragment.

2D Gel Electrophoresis to Identify Cellular Proteins
While computer-based methods are powerful, they can only predict the function of proteins for which some information is already available.

Thermal gel gradient electrophoresis (TGGE)
A method for separating DNA fragments according to their mobilities under increasingly heat-denaturing conditions. See also DGGE, SSCP and heteroduplex analysis.

mesoglea A gel-like matrix that occurs between the outer and inner epithelial layers in cnidarians.
mesophyll Layer of leaf tissue between the epidermis layers; literally meaning "middle of the leaf". PICTURE ...

Southern Blot DNA blot taken from an electrophoresis gel. The original blot type named after its originator Ed Southern, ...
Full article >>>

Both the variant AIMilano and normal AI are incorporated to the same extent in stable complexes isolated by gel filtration, showing similar dimensions and stoichiometries.
Full article >>>

The current forces the molecules through pores in a thin layer of gel, a firm jelly-like substance. The gel can be made so that its pores are just the right dimensions for separating molecules within a specific range of sizes and shapes.

Extracts of cells of different individuals (numerals) were subjected to gel-electrophoresis. The gel was then stained to reveal the position of the enzyme activities. Individuals 5 and 6 were the parents of 7.

The DNA is digested using restriction enzymes and separated using gel electrophoresis as described above.
The fragments on the gelatin are transferred to a filter by blotting.
