   Gel electrophoresis DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. It carries the coded information that makes every person an individual. DNA is made up of four chemicals or bases. These bases are like zipper teeth and arranged in a spiral called a double helix. The four chemicals are called A , T , C and G. They are arranged in pairs with A and T together and C and G together.

   According to Cassoni , The cost is minimal , a starter pack with nine E-Gels and the E-Gel base is $75. The test can be run in a mobile crime lab or anywhere with a power source. E-Gels provide a simple , safe and reproducible way to perform electrophoresis..
   
   In addition , E-Gels reduce the possibility of cross contamination , which should prove to be an asset in the courtroom. Each state controls how DNA evidence is analyzed and presented in court. Some questions that may appear on court day include the admissibility of the findings , as well as all the rules of evidence ordinarily imposed.
