Summary Introduction

To explain:

The method (genomic library or cDNA) that will be good for molecular biologist, if he wants to isolate a gene from a scorpion that encodes a deadly toxin, and transfer that gene to bacteria to produce commercial pesticide using that toxin.

Introduction:

DNA library is a collection of DNA fragments that are cloned in a vector. There are two types of libraries namely: genomic DNA and cDNA libraries. Genomic library is a collection of total genomic DNA from a single organism. DNA is stored in the vector and each vector contains different inserted DNA. cDNA contains all cloned cDNA fragments that are inserted into the host cell, which combine and make some portion of transcriptome of the organism.
