प्रश्न
How are DNA fragments visualised once they are separated by gel electrophoresis?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation (you cannot see pure DNA fragments in the visible light and without staining). You can see bright orange coloured bands of DNA in a ethidium bromide stained gel exposed to UV light.
