The gel is stained with ethium bromide after the electrophoresis run, or is placed in the gel prior to gel solidification.
Explanation:
- Ethidium bromide is used in the gel to view the DNA.
- Ethidium bromide is an intercalating agent that fits into the middle of the DNA molecule, causing it to buge.
