GEL ELECTROPHORESIS OF DNA
PRASAD NAIDU
Msc Medical Biochemistry,
Ph.D Research scholar.
WHAT IS GEL ELECTROPHORESIS?
 Electro = flow of electricity, phoresis, from
the Greek = to carry across
 A gel is a colloid, a suspension of tiny
particles in a medium, occurring in a solid
form, like gelatin
 Gel electrophoresis refers to the separation
of charged particles located in a gel when
an electric current is applied
 Charged particles can include DNA, amino
acids, peptides, etc
WHY DO GEL ELECTROPHORESIS?
 When DNA is cut by restriction enzymes, the result is
a mix of pieces of DNA of different lengths
 It is useful to be able to separate the pieces - I.e. for
recovering particular pieces of DNA, for forensic work
or for sequencing
WHAT IS NEEDED?
 Agarose - a
polysaccharide made
from seaweed. Agarose
is dissolved in buffer
and heated, then cools
to a gelatinous solid with
a network of crosslinked
molecules
 Some gels are made
with acrylamide if
sharper bands are
required
 Buffer - in this case TBE
 The buffer provides ions
in solution to ensure
electrical conductivity.
 Not only is the agarose
dissolved in buffer, but
the gel slab is
submerged (submarine
gel) in buffer after
hardening
 Also needed are a
power supply and a
gel chamber
 Gel chambers come
in a variety of
models, from
commercial through
home-made, and a
variety of sizes
HOW DOES IT WORK?
 DNA is an organic acid, and is negatively
charged (remember, DNA for Negative)
 When the DNA is exposed to an electrical
field, the particles migrate toward the
positive electrode
 Smaller pieces of DNA can travel further in a
given time than larger pieces

wells in the agaros

To make loading wells easier
Comb
Buffer
STEPS IN RUNNING A GEL
 DNA is prepared by digestion with restriction
enzymes
 Agarose is made to an appropriate thickness
(the higher the % agarose, the slower the big
fragments run) and ‘melted’ in the microwave
 The gel chamber is set up, the ‘comb’ is
inserted
 The agarose may have a DNA ‘dye’ added (or
it may be stained later). The agarose is
poured onto the gel block and cooled
 The comb is
removed, leaving
little ‘wells’ and
buffer is poured over
the gel to cover it
completely
 The DNA samples
are mixed with a
dense loading dye
so they sink into their
wells and can be
seen
 The DNA samples
are put in the wells
with a micropipette.
 Micropipettes have
disposable tips and
can accurately
measure
1/1,000,000 of a litre
NEXT?
 The power source is turned on and the gel is run.
The time of the run depends upon the amount of
current and % gel, and requires experimentation
 At the end of the run the gel is removed (it is
actually quite stiff)
 The gel is then visualized - UV light causes the
bands of DNA to fluoresce
A gel as seen under UV light - some samples had 2 fragments
of DNA, while others had none or one
MORE……
 Many samples can
be run on one gel-
but it is important to
keep track
 Most gels have one
lane as a ‘DNA
ladder’ - DNA
fragments of known
size are used for
comparison
STILL MORE….
 The DNA band of interest can be cut out of the gel
and the DNA extracted -
 Or DNA can be removed from the gel by Southern
Blotting

Gel electrophoresis of dna

  • 1. GEL ELECTROPHORESIS OF DNA PRASAD NAIDU Msc Medical Biochemistry, Ph.D Research scholar.
  • 2. WHAT IS GEL ELECTROPHORESIS?  Electro = flow of electricity, phoresis, from the Greek = to carry across  A gel is a colloid, a suspension of tiny particles in a medium, occurring in a solid form, like gelatin  Gel electrophoresis refers to the separation of charged particles located in a gel when an electric current is applied  Charged particles can include DNA, amino acids, peptides, etc
  • 3. WHY DO GEL ELECTROPHORESIS?  When DNA is cut by restriction enzymes, the result is a mix of pieces of DNA of different lengths  It is useful to be able to separate the pieces - I.e. for recovering particular pieces of DNA, for forensic work or for sequencing
  • 4. WHAT IS NEEDED?  Agarose - a polysaccharide made from seaweed. Agarose is dissolved in buffer and heated, then cools to a gelatinous solid with a network of crosslinked molecules  Some gels are made with acrylamide if sharper bands are required
  • 5.  Buffer - in this case TBE  The buffer provides ions in solution to ensure electrical conductivity.  Not only is the agarose dissolved in buffer, but the gel slab is submerged (submarine gel) in buffer after hardening
  • 6.  Also needed are a power supply and a gel chamber  Gel chambers come in a variety of models, from commercial through home-made, and a variety of sizes
  • 7. HOW DOES IT WORK?  DNA is an organic acid, and is negatively charged (remember, DNA for Negative)  When the DNA is exposed to an electrical field, the particles migrate toward the positive electrode  Smaller pieces of DNA can travel further in a given time than larger pieces
  • 8. A GEL BEING RUN Agarose block Positive electrode DNA loaded in wells in the agaros Black background To make loading wells easier Comb Buffer
  • 9. STEPS IN RUNNING A GEL  DNA is prepared by digestion with restriction enzymes  Agarose is made to an appropriate thickness (the higher the % agarose, the slower the big fragments run) and ‘melted’ in the microwave  The gel chamber is set up, the ‘comb’ is inserted  The agarose may have a DNA ‘dye’ added (or it may be stained later). The agarose is poured onto the gel block and cooled
  • 10.  The comb is removed, leaving little ‘wells’ and buffer is poured over the gel to cover it completely  The DNA samples are mixed with a dense loading dye so they sink into their wells and can be seen
  • 11.  The DNA samples are put in the wells with a micropipette.  Micropipettes have disposable tips and can accurately measure 1/1,000,000 of a litre
  • 12. NEXT?  The power source is turned on and the gel is run. The time of the run depends upon the amount of current and % gel, and requires experimentation  At the end of the run the gel is removed (it is actually quite stiff)  The gel is then visualized - UV light causes the bands of DNA to fluoresce
  • 13. A gel as seen under UV light - some samples had 2 fragments of DNA, while others had none or one
  • 14. MORE……  Many samples can be run on one gel- but it is important to keep track  Most gels have one lane as a ‘DNA ladder’ - DNA fragments of known size are used for comparison
  • 15. STILL MORE….  The DNA band of interest can be cut out of the gel and the DNA extracted -  Or DNA can be removed from the gel by Southern Blotting
