  • Electrophoresis
    • The separation of DNA fragments based on their size
    • Longer strands of DNA get caught up in the agarose gel and are slowed whereas shorter strands can move quickly through the gel
    • 6 steps of electrophoresis
    • The fragments are lifted from the gel using southern blotting and transferred onto a sheet. However, they are still not visible. SO a radioactive marker can be used. DNA probes can also be used
