Gel electrophoresis diagrams show seperated DNA proteins, and are used in forensics, genetics, microbiology, etc. They are made by inserting DNA into a gel matrix, and running an electric current through. The proteins seperate based on density and weight, and shown under a UV light, to create the diagram above, which can be read by scientists to determine information about DNA. The shade of the lines (reprenting proteins), their proximity to one another, and their overall location all reveal information regarding the proteins.
