A new discrete distribution arising in a model of DNA replication
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
During DNA replication, small fragments of DNA are formed. These have been observed experimentally and the mechanism of their formation modelled mathematically. Using the stochastic model of Cowan and Chiu (1992), (1994), we find the probability distribution of the number of fragments. A new discrete distribution arises. The work has interest as an application of the recent theory on quasirenewal equations in Piau (2000).
