Question
Chapter 20, Problem 16PDQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason due to which it is difficult to find clones that are full-length molecules.
Introduction: cDNA can be inserted into vectors and cloned to create cDNA libraries. When the cDNA is analyzed, it is difficult to find the full-length clones because many clones are shorter than the mature mRNA molecules from which they are derived.
