cDNA Clones, Tissue-specific cDNA and cDNA Libraries

Complementary DNA, or cDNA, specifically refers to a segment of double-stranded DNA produced from gene-coding RNA. They are typically synthesized from the in-vitro reaction of reverse transcriptase with a mature mRNA template. They can then be cloned and stored in plasmids or artificial chromosomes individually or as a collection of different genes in a cDNA library. Representing protein-coding sequences, eukaryotic cDNA can be cloned into bacteria and yeast or transfected into other eukaryotic cells for studying gene expression or protein structure and function. Here, we have organized a number of gene-specific, tissue-specific, and species-specific cDNA and cDNA libraries from a variety of suppliers. Gene-specific cDNA are typically cloned in expression plasmids, and may be provided as a purified plasmid or as bacterial stock. Tissue-specific cDNA are reverse transcription products of total RNA extracted from human and animal tissues. In our cDNA search tool, check desired selections in our provided filters or type in the search box to help narrow down your search.
