Agarose gel electrophoresis is used to visualize DNA extracts


Gel electrophoresis allows us to separate pieces of DNA. The DNA can be stained with ethidium bromide and then detected using ultraviolet light. The bright “bands” on this gel are DNA fragments produced by restriction enzyme digestion. The bands to the far sides are DNA size markers.
