MboI cuts at GATC sites, insensitive to 5-me dCTP methylation (sensitive to methylation of A)

MboI cutting frequency calculation: p(cut) = (.13)(.37)(.37)(.13) = .00231

Expected fragment length = 1/ .00231 = 432 bp + length from primer site to end of transposon

Expected PCR fragment length is twice this length, or about 1Kbp
