NUCLEIC ACID PROBABILITY. “The random formation of biopolymeric components, for instance nucleic acids, from their building blocks. The probability of a single sequence of 50 nucleotides among all possibilities corresponds to 1/4(50) ≈ 0.8×10(-30) meaning that the exploration of the complete set of sequences over 1 billion years would require the synthesis of more than 4 ×10(13) different sequences every second.”
