Abstract

The technique of isolating DNA from a gel has many applications including the isolation of individual DNA fragments to be used for subcloning a specific piece of DNA. DNA isolated from bands in gels can also be digested with additional restriction endonucleases to generate restriction endonuclease maps. Individual bands of DNA can also be labelled and used as specific probes in hybridization experiments.
