What is agarose gel electrophoresis? Electrophoresis is a technique that allows us to separate DNA, RNA or proteins into bands according to their size. For more information about this technique, be sure to check out our previous post describing electrophoresis.…
What is the difference between accuracy and precision? Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the true value of a given quantity. Precision describes the reproducibility of the measurement. Accordingly, measurements can be categorized as follows: Neither accurate…

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a biotechnology technique used to separate DNA molecules according to their size. The mixture of molecules is added into depressions (or “wells”) within a gel, and then an electrical current is passed through the gel (Fig.…
