RBM: Keyword
Biophysical Parameters (or sample input files)


Syntax:   
   RBM: fmax={} kx={}

Example:
    RBM: fmax=1.0 KX=6.0E+06
 


Tip: The VC application uses the Random Breakage Model (RBM) formalism to relate the number of unrejoined DSBs in a cell to the fraction of the DNA released out of the well (or FAR).  FAR is a commonly reported quantity in many pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) studies.  All parameters must appear to the right of the RBM: keyword (i.e., on the same line in the input file).
