DNA and its types
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the genetic material that carries instructions for all living organisms. It comes in various types, including the double helix, single-stranded DNA, and RNA. DNA can have different conformations and can be supercoiled. Understanding these types is essential for DNA sequencing, genetic engineering, drug development, and forensic science.

Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay: EMSA
The text describes Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA), a molecular biology technique used to study protein-DNA interactions. EMSA is based on the principle that proteins can bind to specific regions of DNA and alter its conformation, affecting the mobility of the DNA in an electric field. This technique is used to study transcription regulation, DNA…
