cDNA: “complementary DNA”; DNA • complementary to RNA • Usually made against mRNA • cDNA is essentially an intron-less copy of a gene, • minus 5’ and 3’ flanking regulatory regions of the • gene • Prepared using reverse transcriptase (an RNA- • dependent DNA polymerase enzyme of RNA viruses)

Bacteriophage lambda: engineered as vector • for cloning large DNA fragments • Central 1/3 of genome (~45 kb) contains • lysogenic function genes • Can substitute ~15 kb cloned DNA into • genome and the virus is still capable of • lytic infection • e.g., the Drosophila genome (~150,000 kb) can be contained in • a minimum of 10,000 recombinant lambda clones (can fit on one • 15 cm Petri plate)

Using an antibody to detect & isolate a specific clone within a library Fig 11-1
Identifying a desired clone/gene in a library: • Use a probe (previously cloned DNA, oligonucleotide, • or antibody) • Functional complementation (useful in organisms • with small genomes) • Positional cloning (chromosome “walk” to mutant • rearrangement site)

Agarose gel electrophoresis • separates DNA fragments • by size: • restrict cloned DNA • electrophoresis • stain with ethidium bromide • visualize under UV Fig 11-13

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) • Uses heat-stable DNA polymerase • (e.g., Taq polymerase) • Requires two opposite-strand primers; • ~100 bp - ~3 kb apart on the target template • Uses a regimen of temperature cycling to amplify • the DNA target between the two primers
