Yes, so DNA is separated by size, so assuring that we have isolated one specific phage and that there is not any other DNA in our sample. So using a quality control gel, you can see the DNA separated by size because DNA of the same size will not smear the gel.
Hi Ellie! You said that the phage will go inside the bacteria. Do you know how they are able to do that?

Yes, it is injected into the cytoplasm of phage and it then incorporates itself with the bacteria DNA.

Can you elaborate what you mean when you say “quality DNA”?
