Concept
cDNA Library
cDNA or complementary DNA can be used to make a genomic library. Instead of using genomic DNA, researchers can use messenger RNA (mRNA) to create a library. The cDNA is the complement of that RNA. Because cDNA is reverse transcribed from mRNA, cDNA libraries contain only expressed genes in the genome which can be important information for researchers. These cDNA can be replicated using DNA Polymerase.
