cDNA Library Analysis Projects to sequence, map, and further analyze random cDNAs are ongoing.
cDNA library. A library composed of complementary copies of cellular mRNAs. (See Library.) Cellular oncogene (proto-oncogene). A normal gene that when mutated or improperly expressed contributes to the development of cancer. (See Oncogene.) ...
cDNA library - A collection of clones prepared from the mRNA of a given cell or tissue type, representing the genetic information expressed by such cells Cell ...
cDNA LIBRARY - A collection of cDNA fragments, each of which has been cloned into a separate vector molecule.
A cDNA library is usually just a mixture of bacteria, where each bacteria carries a different plasmid.
Thus a genomic library contains all of the sequences present in the genome and a cDNA library contains copies of all the mRNA molecules present in the extracted cells.
sequencing several hundred base pairs from an end of a cDNA clone taken from a cDNA library). The resulting sequence is a relatively low quality fragment whose length is limited by current technology to approximately 500 to 800 nucleotides.
A cDNA library that only contains those cDNAs that are expressed in a particular type of cell or tissue or under particular growth conditions. The cDNA common to all conditions is removed by hybridization with excess RNA from other cells (i.e.
A unique DNA sequence derived from a cDNA library (therefore from a sequence which has been transcribed in some tissue or at some stage of development).
