This volume details protocols that span the full spectrum of DNA electrophoresis, from foundational techniques designed for newcomers to highly specialized approaches employed by experienced researchers. Chapters have been divided into four parts, guiding the reader from basic principles through increasingly sophisticated applications in DNA structure analysis and damage detection to example studies of DNA metabolism. 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.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, DNA Electrophoresis aims to provide practical guidance and a valuable resource for researchers and experts seeking to advance their research in DNA electrophoresis.
