 CDNA library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cDNA library is also important for analysis through bioinformatics.
The advantage of a cDNA library is the introns are spliced out and the mRNA sequence can be used as a template to create DNA (via Reverse Transcriptase) to collect the preferred genes.
Prokaryotic DNA is much shorter and mRNA is difficult to isolate so the genomic DNA library is preferred in this case.

 Molecular Techniques
DNA libraries are mixtures of different restriction enzyme-digested DNA molecules ligated into vectors.
Libraries are constructed using the same general approach outlined above, except that instead of inserting one type of DNA fragment into the vector, there are thousands or even millions of different DNA fragments inserted into vector molecules.
Bacteria transformed with the library can be grown in duplicate copies on plates and on filters in a way that individual bacterial colonies are produced, with each colony originating from a single bacterial cell, so all bacteria in a colony would contain the same recombinant DNA molecule, and therefore produce the same protein.
