Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to novel polymeric materials for use in the electrophoretic separation of nucleic acids. In particular, the novel polymer materials are sparsely crosslinked nanogels, dissolved in an aqueous buffer to form solutions with moderate to high viscosity. The present invention further provides methods for generating such novel polymers, and related methods of their use.
