Abstract:
This unit includes the necessary information to conduct neutral/neutral and neutral/alkaline two-dimensional and neutral/neutral/alkaline three-dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis. The methodology has been optimized over the years to gain a better outcome from the hard-to-interpret signals of human papilloma virus replication intermediates obtained from two- and three-dimensional agarose gels. Examples of typical results and interpretation of replication intermediate patterns are included, and the outcomes of multiple-dimension assays are assessed using previously published experimental data. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
In cloning experiments, both the insert and vector DNA...
