Question
The formula that is circle as seen above, why does it exists?
Explanation / Answer
The number of clones depends upon the size of the genome f and average size of the cloned DNA.
If f is the fraction of the genome size compared to the average individual cloned fragment size and thus would represent the lowest possible no. of clones
f=genome size/fragment size
The no. of independent recombinants must be greater than f.In 1976 Clarke and Carbon derived a formula to calculate probablity(P) of including any DNA sequence in a random library of N independent recombinants.
The actual no. of clones to be calculated
N=In (1-P) / In(1-1/f)
N=no.of clones
P=probablity
Bigger the library better will be the chance of finding the gene of interest.
