The below mentioned article provides a short note on the genomic and cDNA libraries in genetic engineering. A genomic library is a collection of independently isolated vector linked DNA fragments derived from a single organism. It contains at least one copy of every DNA sequence in the genome. An ideal library is one that represents all of the sequences with [...]

The following points highlight the top two screening techniques used in genetic engineering:- 1. Colony Hybridisation Technique 2. Blotting Techniques. Screening Technique # 1. Colony Hybridisation Technique: This technique has been developed by Gaustein and Hogness (1975). It requires the radioactively labelled DNA probe with a sequence complementary to at least one part of the desired DNA. The probe may [...]
