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