| Abstract |
A new instrument has been developed for the electrophoretic separation of large DNA molecules that can independently regulate the voltage of each of 24 electrodes and allow the magnitude, orientation, homogeneity, and duration of the electric field to be precisely controlled. Each parameter can be varied at any time during the electrophoretic process. Thus distinct sets of conditions can be combined to optimize the separation of various fragment sizes in a single run. Independent control of electrode voltage allows all of the fields to be generated with electrodes arranged in a closed contour, independent of a particular geometry. This device increases both the resolution in any size range and the speed of separation, especially for DNA molecules larger than 3 megabases. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 April 2008.
All research outputs
#4,764,253
of 23,050,116 outputs
Outputs from Science
#39,432
of 78,168 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,537
of 13,167 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science
#58
of 172 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,050,116 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 78,168 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 62.5. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 13,167 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 172 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
