The biased reptation model provides a good framework for interpreting the results of continuous field DNA electrophoresis experiments performed in agar-gels. Here we discuss the main features of the mobility-molecular size and mobility-gel concentration diagrams as obtained from new extensive comput

The reptation dynamics of DNA chains in gel electrophoresis is discussed. The differences between the Lumpkin, Dbjardin, and Zimm (LDZ), and the Slater and Noolandi (SN), biased reptation models are pointed out and studied. We show that new assumptions are necessary in order to study large-field ele
## Fluctuating bond model of DNA gel electrophoresis We present a Monte Carlo algorithm that allows a small length scale numerical study of DNA gel electrophoresis in high electric fields, similar to the fluctuating bond model for dynamical properties of polymeric systems. This approach combines a
## Abstract The aim of this project is to develop a simple system for the teaching and demonstration of DNA gel electrophoresis. DNA gel electrophoresis requires the use of specialized apparatus, toxic reagents, expensive agarose gel, and DNA samples, as well as a considerable amount of valuable cl
## Deterministic model of DNA gel electrophoresis in strong electric fields We present a new model for the motion of a megabase-long DNA molecule undergoing gel electrophoresis. We assume that the dynamics of large segments of DNA is almost deterministic and can be described by a set of simple mec
