Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique used to separate and analyze charged molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins based on their size, shape, and charge. In electrophoresis, a sample is placed in a gel matrix and an electric field is applied, causing the charged molecules to migrate through the gel. The rate of migration is dependent on the molecular weight and charge of the molecule, allowing for the separation of different molecules. Electrophoresis is widely used in fields such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics for research, medical diagnostics, and biotechnology applications.
