STR Electropherogram artifacts: blobs

Capillary electrophoresis is an analytical technique that separates ions based on their electrophoretic mobility with the use of an applied voltage. The electrophoretic mobility is dependent upon the charge of the molecule, the viscosity, and the atom's radius. In the field of genetics, an electropherogram is a plot of DNA sequencing results generated by Sanger sequencing. ... Such electropherograms may be used to determine DNA sequence genotypes, or genotypes that are based on the length of specific DNA fragments. These genotypes can be used for: genealogical DNA testing. #Genetics #Electropherogram #genotypes #DNASequence #electrophoresis
