Electropherogram
Encyclopedia
An electropherogram is a plot of results from an analysis done by electrophoresis
automatic sequencing.
Electropherograms may be used for deriving results from:
An electropherogram shows a sequence of data that is produced by an automated DNA sequencing
machine.
Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis, also called cataphoresis, is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. This electrokinetic phenomenon was observed for the first time in 1807 by Reuss , who noticed that the application of a constant electric...

Electropherograms may be used for deriving results from:
- genealogical DNA testGenealogical DNA testA genealogical DNA test examines the nucleotides at specific locations on a person's DNA for genetic genealogy purposes. The test results are not meant to have any informative medical value and do not determine specific genetic diseases or disorders ; they are intended only to give genealogical...
