Examples of electrophoresis in the following topics:
-
- Basic techniques used in genetic material manipulation include extraction, gel electrophoresis, PCR, and blotting methods.
- Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate molecules on the basis of size using this charge and may be separated as whole chromosomes or fragments.
- Gel electrophoresis separates the nucleic acid fragments according to their size.
-
- The western blot, or protein immunoblot, is a technique that combines protein electrophoresis and antibodies to detect proteins in a sample.
- The protein sample is first separated by gel electrophoresis, then transferred to a nitrocellulose or other type of membrane, and finally stained with a primary antibody that specifically binds the protein of interest.
-
- Proteomics is a relatively-recent field; the term was coined in 1994 while the science itself had its origins in electrophoresis techniques of the 1970's and 1980's.
-
- After the reaction is over, the reaction is subject to capillary electrophoresis.
- The DNA is separated by capillary electrophoresis on the basis of size.
-
- RFLPs (sometimes pronounced "rif-lips") are detected when the DNA of an individual is cut with a restriction endonuclease that recognizes specific sequences in the DNA to generate a series of DNA fragments, which are then analyzed by gel electrophoresis.
-
- When the reaction mixture is processed by gel electrophoresis after being separated into single strands, the multiple, newly-replicated DNA strands form a ladder due to their differing sizes.
