Finally, I would just like to show some selected applications of capillary gel electrophoresis.

This slide shows the very first capillary gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments of sizes between the 10 mers, 30 mers, the 40 and 60 mers. This was the basis of DNA sequencing in the old days in capillary electrophoresis because it showed that there is an option to use capillary columns to separate of DNA fragments differing only by one nucleotide. In this case, picomolar amounts of a mixture of these polydeoxyadenylic acids, the baseline was solved in less than 11 minutes by capillary gel electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels.

Even more, the separation pair was demonstrated in this figure than those are non-denaturing capillary polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separations of three human K-ras oncogene probes differing only by one nucleotide in the middle of the molecule as one can see within less than 30 minutes; not baseline because of the length of the capillary but all of these three were separated again, only having one difference in the middle of the exact same sequence.

That was the basis of DNA sequencing in the early days when the second- and third-generation sequencers were not available yet so very long read length capillary gel electrophoresis base sequencing was possible to use capillary chiller. Choosing the appropriate parameter separation voltage and temperature, high-resolution DNA sequencing prep played an important role in obtaining rapid and high resolution separation. The sequencing speed of more than 1,000 bases per run was successfully achieved by this one method and increased separation temperature which has multiple benefits such as speeding up the separation and increasing the accuracy and the read length and additionally, providing better denaturation.
