This session will review how to make a recombinant cDNA library and how to use this library to find a specific gene. This session will outline the differences between a genomic and a cDNA library, and discuss how to use a cDNA library to clone a gene of interest.

Learning Objectives

• To understand what a recombinant cDNA library is and how it is constructed.
• To understand how to use a cDNA library to identify a gene of interest by the protein made.
