Gel electrophoresisGel electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis is a procedure for separating a mixture of molecules through a stationary material (gel) in an electrical field.
electromotive force moves charged moleculesthrough a porous gel
separates molecules from each other on the basis of size, electric charge , other physical properties
separation depends on how the sample and gel are prepared

Gel
Agarose gela reversible matrix cross-linked by hydrogen bonds
Acrylamide gela permanent matrix cross-linked with methylene bridges
Translucent, porous, colloid, solid materials
composed of polymers of sugars
poured into slabs and columns and drawn into capillaries
Very stable
Pore size can also be controlled for, altering the migration
properties of the gel

Locating the DNA fragments in the gel
• wedges itself into the grooves of DNA and stays there•More base pairs mean more grooves, which in turn means moreEtBr can insert itself
•a fluorescent dye used for staining nucleic acids which has theproperty of fluorescing under UV light
Ethidium Bromide (EtBr or EB)

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresisPAGE
Polyacrylamide has a smaller pore size than agarose, so it canResolve short ssDNA of the same length that differ in sequence.Resolve short fragments of dsDNA that differ in length by only a few oligonucleotides. Resolve fragments of denatured ssDNA that differ in length by only a single nucleotide.Resolve proteins.

DNA LibraryDNA Library Libraries are constructed by inserting a variety of
sequences into a cloning vector, and simultaneously maintaining all of these clones; each clone representing an individual insert.
Genomic Library: randomly cut the genome into appropriate size for vector, mix and ligate with vector, replicate in host. Each clone (a vector with an insert) represents a unique region of the genome, but each region of the genome is represented equally in overlapping clones.
cDNA Library: isolate mRNA from a cell or tissue type, convert into DNA, and ligate with vector. Each clone represents a DNA copy of an mRNA, and each mRNA is represented in the library based on its level of transcription.
