Fragment Lengths Count
Compute the number of DNA fragments produced by a number of restriction cut sites.
Description
Compute the number of DNA fragments produced by a number of restriction cut sites.
Fragment Lengths Count is a focused biology tool that compute the number of DNA fragments produced by a number of restriction cut sites. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use Fragment Lengths Count
Use Fragment Lengths Count when you need to compute the number of DNA fragments produced by a number of restriction cut sites. Enter Cut sites using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- Cut sites
- An integer count or setting greater than or equal to 0.
How Fragment Lengths Count calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute the number of DNA fragments produced by a number of restriction cut sites.
- Fragment count
- The calculated fragment count.
Limitations of Fragment Lengths Count
The calculation does not propagate measurement uncertainty, sampling error, or biological and chemical variability.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Cut sites values and their units alongside the result. Restriction Site Count is useful when you instead need to count non-overlapping occurrences of a restriction site inside a DNA sequence. K-mer Count provides another view by helping you count occurrences of an exact k-mer in a DNA sequence with overlapping windows.
