Lab — DNA Gel Art
Objective
A focused 3‑hour lab on restriction digests and agarose gel electrophoresis. You’ll create DNA gel art while mastering core techniques that underpin verification of DNA constructs.
Tip
3‑hour lab blending creativity and molecular biology: you’ll pour gels, set up restriction digests, run electrophoresis, and visualize DNA.
Concepts You’ll Learn
- Benchling tools for design
- Restriction digest setup
- Agarose gel preparation
- Gel electrophoresis execution
- DNA visualization
