Best Answer

probability of including any DNA sequence in a random libray of N independent recombinants:

N= [ln(1-P)] / [ln(1-1/n)]

where n= genome size /average insert size

in theory, a genomic library should contain all the different sequences,

but in practice, a genomic libray is never perfect.

What is the use of DNA library?

cDNA is the short form complementary DNA. cDNA libraries are a combination of cloned cDNA fragments. cDNA libraries are used to express eukaryotic genes in prokaryotes.


What is the definition of genomic footprinting?

Same as genetic footprinting, only at a high throughput, systems level way. Typically you use a transposon library to insert mutations to cells that inactivate genes (you assume one transposon/inactivation per cell). Then you trascription profile (dna microarray, rna-seq) after selection (whatever you want to select for, growth, resistance etc) and try to map the mutations/genes inactivations to the fitness changes in the cells. For example if you select for growth in a particular environment and the deletion of a gene confers this, then during selection that mutant will be over-represented, so when you run a microarray, you will see no expression of the deleted gene in reference with the wild type strain.


What are plasmid libraries?

A plasmid is a piece of circular DNA. These plasmids are transformed into bacteria/yeast. A library is made by taking pieces of DNA (from a genomic DNA digest, or cDNA) and inserting them into plasmids. The plasmids are then transformed into the organism and stored. Libraries are used to screen for new functional genes, usually when looking at new substrates or products that the yeast/bacteria can't make without the plasmid.

Difference between genomic library and cdna library?

A cDNA (complementary DNA) library is a DNA library that has been created from mRNAs that are present in the cell. Since a cDNA is created from mRNA transcripts, that means that in Eukaryotic organisms there will be no introns or transcriptional factors present in the cDNA library, only exons. Only protein coding regions will be present in a cDNA library. This also means that a cDNA library is often times tissue specific. Since the expression of mRNAs will be different in different tissues of the organism it will appear different then a genomic library. Often times to offset this problem a cDNA library will be composed of different tissues (brain, liver, heart) to encompass a greater variety of the proteins that are expressed. A genomic library will contain all the exons, introns, and transcriptional factors that are not found in the cDNA library. **2/24/2011** cDNA library does contain exons, which is the protein coding regions.

What is special in special library?

special library is a library which caters to a particular kind of users, specific kind of subject and specific kind of material.


What is a genomic library?

Specific human genes stored in virus, bacteria and yeast hosts no, the genes are randomly inserted into vectors. a cDNA library houses tissue-specific sequences derived from an mRNA transcript so that it contains only genes that code for protein.
