 | A dye marker on agarose gel is used to separate DNA. The smaller fragments move faster, the larger ones move slower. This separation process is used to analyyze the size of DNA fragments, to map DNA, to separate fragments of DNA to create clones.

The small DNA pieces are isolated by electropheresis onto an agarose gel plate. Scientist use this technique to identify and study genes. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |
