About Insert:Vector Ratio Calculator — recombineering
Work out the insert mass for recombineering at your chosen molar ratio. insert ng = ratio × (insert bp / vector bp) × vector ng. The calculation uses insert ng = ratio × (insert bp/vector bp) × vector ng. Why accuracy here pays off: Ligation and assembly efficiency hinge on the molar ratio of insert to vector — not the mass ratio. Because long fragments contain fewer moles per ng, a 'balanced' mass mix can be wildly off in moles. recombineering: optimise the molar ratio for efficient assembly. Mistakes that trip people up: stale ligase or ATP; using a mass ratio instead of a molar ratio; ignoring fragment length when converting ng↔pmol. No account, no upload, no tracking of your inputs — the result is generated on your machine, which makes it reproducible, private and citable in published work.
