Ah, the anode pulls the DNA because of that phosphate backbone’s negative charge. All the lab manuals said so, and we ran those gels every day like a prayer. But I tell you, watching it slowly crawl through the agarose always reminded me of my rubber trees—how the latex would *resist* flowing too fast in the heat. Some things move because they must, not because they want to.
