Electrophoresis

Uses narrow tubes instead of gels, allowing for high-speed separation and automation, commonly used in modern DNA sequencing. Real-World Applications

Electrophoresis is the backbone of several critical scientific fields: Electrophoresis

DNA profiling (DNA fingerprinting) uses electrophoresis to compare crime scene samples with suspect DNA. Uses narrow tubes instead of gels, allowing for

An electrical current is applied. Since DNA and RNA are negatively charged due to their phosphate backbone, they migrate toward the positive electrode (anode). Uses narrow tubes instead of gels
