Welcome to the Virtual Gel Electrophoresis Laboratory! This simulation allows you to separate and visualize DNA fragments just like in a real molecular biology lab.
What is Gel Electrophoresis?
Gel electrophoresis is a technique that separates DNA fragments by size using an electric field. Smaller fragments move faster through the gel matrix, while larger fragments move more slowly, creating distinct bands that reveal the DNA fingerprint.
