NCIt definition : Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a method used to separate proteins or high
molecular weight linear DNA fragments that are greater than 50 kilobases (kb) in size.
Fragments are separated by pulsing an electrical field across an agarose gel rather
than applying the constant field used in conventional electrophoresis.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An electrophoresis method used to separate proteins or high molecular weight
linear DNA fragments that are greater than 50 kilobases (kb) in size. Fragments are
