Summary Introduction

To review:

The size of a DNA fragment affects its electrophoretic mobility on the electrophoresis gels.

Introduction:

Electrophoretic mobility is the migration of charged particles under the influence of applied electrical field. The cations move toward the negatively charged cathode, anions move toward the positively charged anode, and neutral species remain stationary.
