  2. DNA supercoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_supercoil

    DNA supercoiling is important for DNA packaging within all cells. Because the length of DNA can be thousands of times that of a cell, packaging this genetic material into the cell or nucleus (in eukaryotes) is a difficult feat. Supercoiling of DNA reduces the space and allows for DNA to be packaged.

  3. Gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_electrophoresis_of...

    The rate at which the various forms move however can change using different electrophoresis conditions, for example linear DNA may run faster or slower than supercoiled DNA depending on conditions, [6] and the mobility of larger circular DNA may be more strongly affected than linear DNA by the pore size of the gel. [4] Unless supercoiled DNA ...

  4. Agarose gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agarose_gel_electrophoresis

    An agarose gel cast in tray, to be used for gel electrophoresis. Agarose gel is a three-dimensional matrix formed of helical agarose molecules in supercoiled bundles that are aggregated into three-dimensional structures with channels and pores through which biomolecules can pass. [3]

  5. Gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_electrophoresis

    Isolation and amplification of DNA. DNA added to the gel wells. Electric current applied to the gel. DNA bands are separated by size. DNA bands are stained. Gel electrophoresis is an electrophoresis method for separation and analysis of biomacromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.) and their fragments, based on their size and charge through a gel.

    Radiation from nail dryers may damage DNA and cause permanent mutations in human cells, a study has found. Dermatologists weigh in on the risks and whether they avoid gel manicures.

  7. Comet assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_assay

    The comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) is a simple method for measuring deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand breaks in eukaryotic cells. Cells embedded in agarose on a microscope slide are lysed with detergent and high salt to form nucleoids containing supercoiled loops of DNA linked to the nuclear matrix.
