A 48-year-old woman complains of severe polyuria (producing about 0.5 L of urine each hour) and polydipsia (drinking two to three glasses of water every hour). Her urine contains no glucose, and she is placed on overnight water restriction for further evaluation. The next morning, she is weak and confused, her sodium concentration is 160 mEq/L, and her urine osmolarity is 80 mOsm/L. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

It is possible to calculate the number of clones that must be present in a gene library to give a probability of obtaining a particular DNA sequence. This formula is:

 

where N is the number of recombinants, P is the probability and f is the fraction of the genome in one insert. Thus for the E. coli DNA chromosome of 5 × 10 ⁶ bp andan insert size of 20 kb ( f = 0.004), the number of clones needed ( N ) would be 1 × 10 ³ ,with a probability of P will be

 Vectors used for construction of genomic libraries, and their capacity is given match them correctly

A- λ EMBL series                                                                                   I - 300kb - 1,400 kb

B - Cosmids                                                                                                 II - 45 kb

C – BACs and YACs (high capacity vectors)                                             III - 20kb
