CDNA AND GENOMIC LIBRARIES:
CONSTRUCTION AND SCREENING
RE-DESIGN AND CONTRUCT BY T MICHAEL
ADEDAYO
Outline
• INTRODUCTION
• DEFINITION OF cDNA
• CONSTRUCTION AND SCREENING OF
cDNA LIBRARY.
• DEFINITION OF GENOMIC LIBRARY
• CONSTRUCTION AND SCREENING OF
GENOMIC LIBRARY.
• CONCLUSION.
Introduction
• A DNA library is a collection of DNA
clones, gathered together as a source of
DNA for sequencing, gene discovery, or
gene function studies.
• There are two types of DNA libraries:
cDNA and Genomic
cDNA Library
• A cDNA library is a set of cDNA clones
prepared from the mRNAs isolated from a
particular type of tissue.
• The cDNA library contains only
complementary DNA molecules synthesized
from mRNA molecules in a cell. This
molecules represents all the gene that are
expressed in the cell at different stage of its
development.
CONSTRUCTION
cDNA libraries are constructed by
synthesizing cDNA from purified
cellular mRNA via oligo(dT)-cellulose
chromatography. This is done to
recover the poly (A) mRNA so as to
anneal with the oligo(dT) chains.

SCREENING
• A probe is a piece of DNA or RNA used
to detect specific nucleic acid
sequences by hybridization (binding of
two nucleic acid chains by base
pairing). Oligonucleotide can be used
as a probe.
• They are radioactively labeled so that
the hybridized nucleic acid can be
identified by autoradiography.
Two general approaches are available for
screening libraries to identify clones carrying
a gene or other DNA region of interest:
(1) Detection with oligonucleotide probes
that bind to the clone of interest and
(2)Detection based on expression of the
encoded protein

Genomic Library
•Is the largest type of library which consist
of the complete genome of a particular
organism which is cleaved into thousands
of fragments, and all the fragments are
cloned by insertion into a cloning vector.
• A collection of clones that collectively
represent all the DNA sequences in the
genome of a particular organism.
CONSTRUCTION
The first step in preparing a genomic
library is partial digestion of the DNA
by restriction endonucleases, such that
any given sequence will appear in
fragments of a range of sizes and is
represented in the library.
Construction cont.
Secondly, the cloning vector, such as a
BAC or YAC plasmid, is cleaved with the
same restriction endonuclease and ligated
to the genomic DNA fragments.
Thereafter ligated DNA mixture is then
used to transform bacterial or yeast cells
to produce a library of cell types, each
type harboring a different recombinant
DNA molecule.
Construction cont.
Each transformed bacterium or yeast
cell grows into a colony, or “clone,” of
identical cells, each cell bearing the
same recombinant plasmid.
The ability to clone such large DNA fragments
raise the possibility of the Genomic library, but
it has been found that there is a problem as to
what number of clones are required to
construct a genomic library.
A solution has been provided with the use of a
formular:
N=ln(1-P)/ln(1-a/b)
which enhances the capacity of constructing a
genomic library, and also ease the problem of
screening.(i.e. the higher the fragments, the
smaller the number of clones).

SCREENING
A common method of screening is the
plasmid-based genomic libraries which
is to carry out a colony hybridization
experiment. host bacteria containing
either a plasmid based or
bacteriophage-based library are plated
out on a petri dish and allowed to grow
overnight to form colonies

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Genomic DNA
segments can be organized in
libraries known as genomic
libraries and cDNA libraries with a
wide range of designs and
purposes.
