Chapter 3, Problem 33CQ
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The number of clones necessary to obtain a probability of 0.99 and a specific 5-kb fragment of DNA from C.elegans.
Concept introduction:
Cloning is defined as the production of multiple identical organisms obtained from a single ancestor. Clone is the collection of cells that carry the vector carrying DNA of interest. To clone a particular DNA fragment, a pure form of DNA is obtained and cut using a restriction enzyme into small pieces. Then, these fragments are cloned into vector.
