Protocols and information on nucleic acid electrophoresis. Includes: Electrophoresis of DNA; Electrophoresis of RNA; General Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis; Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis.
Preparation of Denaturing Polyacrylamide Gels Containing Formamide Protocol Protocol for preparation of denaturing polyacrylamide gels containing formamide.The inclusion of formamide in sequencing gels eliminates secondary structure in the DNA during electrophoresis. Formamide gels are particularly useful and almost a necessity when sequencing DNA templates with a G/C content >55%.
Preparation of Electrolyte Gradient Gels Protocol Protocol for the preparation of electrolyte gradient gels. Electrolyte gradients are formed when buffers of different concentrations are used in the upper (low electrolyte concentration) and lower (high electrolyte concentration) chambers of the electrophoresis device.
