Versatile Apparatuses for Electrogene Mapping, Electrophoresis and Electrofusion

  • Chapter
Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 9))

Abstract

Electrophoresis is one of the most powerful and fundamental techniques for separation and analysis of proteins and nucleic acids which has been widely accepted for both preparative and analytical purposes (Andrews 1981; Hames and Rickwood 1981; Rickwood and Hames 1982; Maugh II 1983), especially in the fields of recombinant DNA and nucleic acid sequencing. There are only a few investigations that do not utilize electrophoretic techniques (Rickwood and Hames 1982; Weissbach and Weissbach 1986).
