Electrophoresis and DNA fingerprinting Jani Lynette Hagen October 31‚2014 U74644799 Electrophoresis is a technique which uses an electric field to separate molecules‚ allowing for identification and characterization of the molecules. It is commonly used to separate nucleic acids and protein molecules of various sizes. To prepare the gel for electrophoresis the amount of agrose needed must be calculated. For a 0.8 percent gel 0.8 grams of agrose is necessary per 100 ml of buffer. The DNA fingerprinting experiment

It consisted of taking measurements of various parts of the body‚ such as the head‚ shoulders‚ fingers‚ and skull. This method was referred to as Bertillionage‚ after its creator. Bertillion developed a set of precise measuring instruments to be used with his method. The Bertillionage system became very popular throughout Europe and the United States
