Clone bank See: genomic library Cloning Using specialized DNA technology to produce multiple, exact copies of a single gene or other segment of DNA to obtain enough material for further study.
Clone bank See genomic library. Related Terms: Genomic library A collection of clones made from a set of randomly generated overlapping DNA fragments representing the entire genome of an organism. Compare library, arrayed library.
Clone bank See genomic library. Species A group of organisms belong to the same biological species, if they are capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring.
Clone bank: See genomic library.
Clones: A group of cells derived from a single ancestor.
The process of subdividing genomic DNA into clonable elements and inserting them into hosts is called creating a library, a clone bank or a gene bank. A complete library of host cells will contain all of the genomic DNA of the source organism.
