Chapter 13, Problem 14QP
Summary Introduction
To describe: The type of vector used in the preparation of a cloned genomic library from human tissue culture cell line.
Introduction: In the manufacturing of human genomic library, the fragments of DNA used in the process can vary in size which can be picked up by the plasmid easily. About 8 million plasmids are required to include all the genetic information from an individual cell.

What advantages do cDNA libraries provide over genomic DNA libraries? Describe cloning applications where the use of a genomic library is necessary to provide information that a cDNA library cannot.
Transcriptome analysis involves two separate methodologies: gene expression and RNA seq analyses. The 10 items below are a scrambled listing of the steps used in the two procedures. Identify the steps involved in RNA seq from the list below. Use the numbers in the list to refer to each step. Once the steps for RNA seq have been identified, write the steps in the order in which they are performed during the experiment.
(1) DNA sequencing
(2) Allow for hybridization and wash excess cRNA.
(3) Mix labeled cRNA with array chip.
(4) PCR amplification
(5) Measure fluorescence intensity to determine abundance of transcripts.
(6) Add labeled cRNA at each microarray location.
(7) Map cDNA sequences to the genome of the organism to determine identity and abundance of transcripts.
(8) mRNA isolation from cells
(9) Prepare fluorescently labeled cRNA probes
(10) cDNA synthesis
what is the whole-genome shotgun sequencing? Also briefly explain its strategy to assemble the genome sequence.

Using your textbook as a resource, complete the following steps to assist you in completing this gene cloning project. 1. You have identified the specific gene that produces the protein product that you wish to mass produce. What is the first step you need to do in order to obtain a version of this human gene that be cloned into a bacterial cell? What special enzyme, obtained from a particular kind of virus, will you need to complete this first step? (Hint: Are there differences in genes between eukaryotes and prokaryotes?) 2.
