how do you make sure the DNA \ RNA you extracted is good?

• couple of tests we can use

we’ll do 2 of them

nano-drop\

gel-electrophoresis

why? we need to make sure we have a good pure dna \ rna sample?

1. downstream experiments
   1. no point in me doing an experiment, and then waste all of it because the dna is not good
   2. test to make sure we proceed further

the technique measure nucleic acid in a solution or within a gel-matrix

1. uv absorbance (similar to spectrometry)
   1. anything in life can do things when exposed to light: 1.
2. fluoroscense staining
