Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments based on their size and charge. In gel electrophoresis, an electric current is used to move DNA fragments through a gel matrix, with smaller fragments moving faster and farther than larger fragments. This technique is commonly used in recombinant DNA experiments to isolate and purify target DNA fragments.
