Question

What is vertical gel electrophoresis?

Answer 1

Horizontal vs. Vertical Gel Electrophoresis Systems. Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory method that allows for the separation of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and proteins based on their size. ... The gel box features a cathode at one end and an anode at the other.

Answer 2

In the forensic science or in biological science,we often have to perform experiments to seperate nucleic acids like RNA or DNA according to their physical sizes.

The most common laboratory method of this type of chemical separation is known as the "Gel electrophoresis" method.

In this method we use different buffer solutions to seperate the nucleic acids according to their sizes.

There are are two different types of "Gel electrophoresis" method.

The comparatively more complex method among this two methods,is known as the "Vertical Gel Electrophoresis" method.We use different discontinuous buffer solution in this method.
