    Module IV - Genomic DNA and cDNA Library

    Ananya Singh
    A genomic DNA library is a collection of DNA fragments from an organism's entire genome cloned into a host. Construction involves isolating genomic DNA, fragmenting it, ligating the fragments into a vector, and transforming the vector into a host. This allows researchers to explore genomic structure/function, map genes, and identify mutations or pharmaceutical genes. While powerful, genomic libraries can be error-prone for large eukaryotic genomes containing non-coding DNA.

    MODULE IV: Genomic DNA and cDNA libraries

    Genomic DNA library


    The genomic DNA library is a collection of comprehensive DNA (including
    introns and exons) fragments representing the entire genome of a species.
    It is complete genome in multiple clones containing small DNA fragments.
    Depending upon organism and size of genome, this library is either prepared in
    a bacterial vector or in YAC
    Construction of a genomic DNA library involves four step:
    1. Isolation of genomic DNA
    2. Generation of suitable size DNA fragments
    3. Cloning in a suitable vector system (depending upon size)
    4. Transformation in suitable host.
     A sample containing the complete genome is mixed with with
    restriction enzymes (HaeIII and AluI). These enzymes cleave the large
    DNA molecule into smaller gene fragments.
     The smaller gene fragments are now separated on the basis of size
    (size fractionation) by electrophoresis.
     EcoR1 methylase is added to block EcoR1 sites present within the
    fragments.
     This is followed by blunt end ligation with EcoR1 linker molecules,
    followed by restriction by EcoR1 enzymes to convert the blunt ends
    to cohesive ends.
     Anneal the cohesive ends of smaller fragments with natural cohesive
    ends of λ Charon 4A DNA (replacement vector)
     T4 DNA ligase enzyme is used to ligate the chosen DNA sequence
    into the vector.
     The vector is then inserted into E.coli.
     These cells then replicate their genome along with the vector
    genome contained within them.
     The collection of clones that contain all sequences from original
    source forms genomic library.
    Advantages of a Genomic Library
     Genomic libraries derived from eukaryotic organisms are critical for
    studying the genome sequence of a particular gene of interest.
     It is useful for prokaryotes with small genomes to identify a clone
    encoding a specific gene of interest.
     It helps researchers to explore more about an organism’s genomic
    structure and function. It is also used to study genetic mutations.
     Pharmaceutically important genes can also be identified by this
    method.

    Disadvantages of a Genomic Library


     It requires sophisticated software and a vast amount of computing
    power. Also, the process is prone to errors.
     Eukaryotic genome libraries with very large genomes contain many
    DNA that do not code for proteins, as well as non-coding DNA like
    repetitive DNA and regulatory regions, making them less than ideal.

    Uses of Genomic Library


     Researchers can explore the genome of an organism to learn more
    about genomic structure and function
     They can map the genome, identifying the locations of specific genes.
     Helps to develop tests which can be used to locate genetic variations
    including mutations
     Useful in Recombinant DNA Technology, helps to genetically modify
    organisms and produce clones of desired types.
     Genomic library construction is the first step in any DNA sequencing
    projects.
     Genomic library helps in identification of the novel pharmaceutically
    important genes
