The introduction of pulsed-field agarose gel electrophoresis (PFGE) has expanded the list of particles separable by use of gel electrophoresis to include: (1) linear
DNA
s as long as 3–6 Mbp, (2) DNA- protein complexes and circular DNAs that become arrested during invariant field agarose gel electrophoresis; and (3) micron-sized spheres that also become arrested during invariant field agarose gel electrophoresis (reviewed in refs.
