Gel Electrophoresis

The video tutorial introduces gel electrophoresis, a crucial lab technique in molecular biology for separating DNA and proteins. It explains the process, where DNA molecules move through a gel under an electric field, allowing separation based on size. The tutorial covers the setup, including the gel, electrodes, and the sieving process. It also discusses data analysis using DNA-binding dyes and various applications, such as gene amplification and protein separation. The simplicity and utility of gel electrophoresis make it essential in modern molecular biology labs.
