A cDNA library consists only of genes that are expressed, hence they do contain only exons. They contain no introns.

In eukaryotes only exons are translated?
Correct. The mRNA transcibed from the DNA in the nucleus has both exons and introns; the introns are taken out and the exons are left in. The mended exons exit the nucleus and the introns stay in the nucleus. Only the exons are translated at the ribosomes. (In Eukaryotic cells only)
How is a human gene recombined into a bacterial plasmid?
One of the most common ways these days is from cDNA. RNA is extracted from human cells, purified, and then treated with an enzyme called reverse transcriptase which is able to make DNA from RNA templates (this DNA made from RNA is called cDNA). The advantage of using cDNA is that in the genome human genes are typically distributed across multiple exons spread over tens or even hundreds of thousands of basepairs of DNA. Such a massive segment of DNA is extremely hard to manipulate and far too large to insert into a plasmid. However, in cDNA, all the introns have been spliced out (because cDNA is made from mature mRNA). To isolate a particular gene from cDNA, PCR is often used to selectively amplify one gene's cDNA using specific primers. To insert the amplified cDNA into a plasmid, the traditional approach was to use restriction enzymes - enzymes that cut precise DNA sequences. The great thing about many restriction enzymes is that they cut DNA but leave behind "sticky ends". Thus if you cut both your cDNA and a plasmid with a particular restriction enzyme, the resulting sticky ends will allow the human cDNA to be taken up by the plasmid (the sticky ends will mesh). The sticky ends will have to be sealed by an enzyme called DNA ligase. However, there are other ways these days - often involving recombination to insert the PCR product directly into a plasmid without resorting to restriction enzymes and ligations.
The function of cdna?
hi In vitro we must converted the RNA to cDNA to diagnosis viral RNA in PCR. In vivo RNa viral infected the cell RNA converted to cDNA IN SIDE THE CELL BY REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE therfore cDNA insertion in the DNA of cell infected thank you hi In vitro we must converted the RNA to cDNA to diagnosis viral RNA in PCR.

Can clones isolated from cDNA libraries contain promoter sequences?
C DNA library lack information about introns and regulatory sequences like promoter , enhancer etc.
What enzyme joins exons?
Ligase
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 the advantage of using cDNA library in molecular genetics?
The main advantage of cDNA library is that it contains only the coding region of a genome.
What is a cDNA library used for?
A cDNA library is used for complementary DNA. These DNA are collected as host cells, which can be found in the nucleus. Currently, cDNA libraries are lacking in the enhancer, intron, and several other categories.
What is virtual cDNA library?
I imagine its just an online cDNA library. A cDNA library is of course a collection of cDNA copy sequences. cDNA is where you have mRNA and you use reverse transcriptase to turn a strand of RNA into a DNA equivalent, then use RNAase H to degrade the remaining RNA strand and then use DNA polymerase to create a complete double stranded DNA sequence that is the equivalent of the mRNA. This way you can get the gene without the introns that normal DNA would have.
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.
In eukaryotes only exons are translated?
Correct. The mRNA transcibed from the DNA in the nucleus has both exons and introns; the introns are taken out and the exons are left in. The mended exons exit the nucleus and the introns stay in the nucleus. Only the exons are translated at the ribosomes. (In Eukaryotic cells only)
What are the basic steps during obtaining a target gene from the cDNA library?
The advantage of cDNA library is that it contains only the coding region of a genome. To prepare a cDNA library, the first step is to isolate the total mRNA from the cell type of interest.Then the enzyme reverse transcriptase is used to synthesize a DNA strand complementary to each mRNA molecule. After the single-stranded DNA molecules are converted into double-stranded DNA molecules by DNA polymerase, they are inserted into vectors and cloned.
Describe a recombinant DNA experiment in two or three sentences use the following terms intron?
Intron is a DNA sequence which has no meaningful codes, but in other hand exons codes for the meaningful proteins. So those exons are collectively made as mRNA, from that cDNA would be synthesized to clone them in rDNA technology.
What is the full form of cdna?
CDNA = Complimentary Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
Why you chose mRNA rather than genomic DNA for making a DNA library?
Complementary DNA (cDNA) is a doublestranded DNA version of RNA . Messenger RNA is a more useful predictor of a polypeptide sequence than DNA, because the introns have been spliced out. Scientists use cDNA rather than mRNA itself because RNAs are less stable than DNA.
What are the coding segments of a stretch of eukaryotic DNA?
Exons
Why do two possible PCR products differ by 300 base pairs?
If the PCR that was run was an RT-PCR then the band with 300 extra bp could be caused by the presence of contaminating gDNA in the reaction. Many primers for RT-PCR are designed to sit in different exons. If the intron in between was about 300bp in length and gDNA was added to the reaction as well as cDNA then two bands would result, the shorter/lighter one from the cDNA and the longer/heavier band from the gDNA.
