Rapid isolation of long cDNA clones from existing libraries

Abstract

Obtaining full-length or even near full-length cDNA clones has been a time-consuming and labor-intensive step in the analysis of cloned genes. Recent methods which use PCR as a preparative tool for cloning (1,2) have made this step considerably more rapid, but may introduce sequence errors in the resulting clones due to numerous sequential rounds of in vitro replication. We describe a method for identifying long cDNA clones from existing cDNA libraries using PCR purely as a diagnostic tool.
