Definition:
Biology Glossary search by EverythingBio.com
 
     
  A research technique used to separate molecules (or fragments of a molecule) according to size. Upon electrical stimulation, smaller fragments of a molecule will move faster through the gel than larger fragments. The process is typically done to separate DNA fragments after the DNA has been cut with restriction enzymes.
