Central Dogma of Molecular Biology

DNA ----transcribed----> RNA ----translated----> Protein

DNA charge

DNA has a negative charge because of its negatively charged phosphate group, which means that if an electric current is run through a DNA sample, the DNA molecules will move towards the positive charge. This seperates the DNA molecules by size since smaller molecules (shorter nucleotide chains made of a smaller number of base pairs) move furthest

Genes

Since DNA is so tiny, how can we see DNA on a gel?

One individual DNA molecule cannot be seen on a gel. However, DNA molecules that are the same size will move the same distance through the gel, forming a band of DNA that can be seen. More DNA will cause the band to be darker.
