finding a reference for a formula - (Apr/17/2014 )

where can I find the formula for calculating RNA copy numbers from its ng/ul ? I know the formula, but I could not find the reference. I want to put the reference in my writing, and tried to look for it in some papers and books, but I have not find it. So, where is this formula from? Thanks very much.

The calculation has to be based on the sequence. There is an online tool allowing you to do that http://endmemo.com/bio/dnacopynum.php. maybe you can cite the website.

 

This paper may also help:
