  Hello everybody. I was just wondering if there any formula to calculate the necessary amount of DNA for effective transformation. Maybe someone know where to look in to get this information. Thank you

  I mean, transformation – foreign DNA to host cell.

  not much at all is necessary. for example, commercially available vectors for transformation efficiency control are transformed at the pg level. however, if u are using ligation products, i used something like 50ng.

  Thanks, I also use 50-100ng, but I was wondering maybe there is some formula to count.
