13. What is the temperature used in restriction analysis? 14. What is loading buffer (loading dye) used for? 15. What do we use to stain DNA in our gels? 16. After restriction reaction, we incubate samples at 65°C before running the gel. Why do we need this step? If we skip this step, would it change any results? 17. Explain the movement of DNA during gel electrophoresis.
