Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
Lab technique for separation of DNA
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a technique used for the separation of large DNA molecules by applying an electric field that periodically changes direction to a gel matrix. Unlike standard agarose gel electrophoresis, which can separate DNA fragments of up to 50 kb, PFGE resolves fragments up to 10 Mb. This allows for the direct...
