This volume explores the latest techniques used by researchers to study DNA electrophoresis, with focus on various species including bacteria, yeasts, and mammalian cells. The chapters in this book cover topics such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; DNA replication; pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; ChIP; and post-labeling/PAGE method for detection of DNA adducts. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and authoritative, DNA Electrophoresis: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for any researchers looking to learn more about this developing field.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts
