ABSTRACT:
A DNA analyzing apparatus includes a bath containing an electrophoresis medium. A plurality of probe electrodes are arranged in the bath. A plurality of spots each composed of probe DNA fragments having known base sequences are arranged on the respective probe electrodes. Temperature regulating elements are provided to adjust the temperatures of the plurality of spots via the corresponding probe electrode.
