I am happy to report I was finally able to get the Gel Electrophoresis to work, after several attempts I found that the best way is to stain the gel before it hardens, I also found that the comb is too close to the edge and the DNA was leaking into each other’s wells and ruining the signal, some protocols say to rinse the gel in a stain after the gel is run, but I have found it just washes out the signal and makes it less visible. I tried to take some pictures with my Canon, but it was still rather difficult, but the ladders and samples are clearly visible to the naked eye, better than this picture does justice.
I created video of the process:
