Electrophoresis Memes

Oh snap! This is a DNA paternity test gel electrophoresis showing that child 3 and child 4 have matching bands with the father, but child 1 and child 2 don't! Someone's been keeping a BIG secret! 😱 The bands represent DNA fragments that should match between biological parents and children. When those bands don't line up... well, let's just say Thanksgiving dinner is about to get REALLY awkward. Family drama meets molecular biology in the most brutal way possible!

Every biologist knows that forbidden moment when you're running gel electrophoresis and suddenly think "I wonder what this tastes like?" The bite taken out of this gel tray is the universal lab crime we've all contemplated but few have dared. It's like the scientific equivalent of eating Play-Doh as a kid, except now with added risk of carcinogens! The ruler markings just make it look like you're documenting exactly how much forbidden snack you consumed. Scientific curiosity: 1, Lab safety protocols: 0.
