You will write three small functions that read a gel with a ladder and count the efficiency of competent cells.
The idea. The log of the size is a straight line against the distance. A least squares line has the slope . The efficiency is the colonies for each microgram of DNA that was on the plate.
Your tasks.
fit_line. It takes the distances and the sizes of the ladder, and gives the slope and the intercept of the line of log10 of the size against the distance.size_at. It gives the size of a band from its distance, the slope and the intercept.efficiency. It gives the colonies for each microgram, from the colonies, the nanograms of DNA used and the fraction of the cells that was plated.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
