Answer these questions regarding DNA libraries:

In creating a genomic DNA library, what is the FIRST step?

	a.	Fragmenting the DNA into manageable pieces
	b.	Screening clones
	c.	Transforming recombinant DNA into bacteria
	d.	Ligating DNA into plasmids

Sometimes artificial chromosomes (AC) constructed from bacterial (BACs) or yeast (YACs) DNA are used to harbor genomic DNA for libraries (e.g., the human genome project). Why are BACs/YACs often used instead of traditional plasmid DNA for the construction of genomic libraries?

	a.	genomic plasmid DNA cannot be efficiently ligated
	b.	Typical plasmid DNA vectors can only harbor DNA up to a certain size (~3,000 bp)
	c.	BACs/YACs are easier to store in DNA libraries
	d.	Larger genomic DNA fragments in BACS/YACS have the introns removed

Which library would you screen if the goal was to identify the coding sequence for a protein?

	a.	genomic library
	b.	RNA library
	c.	cDNA library
	d.	protein domain library

How does one find a book (gene/clone) of interest in a DNA library?

	a.	by doing PCR on the whole pool of DNA
	b.	by sequencing each clone in the library
	c.	by next-generation sequencing
	d.	by hybridizing a radiolabeled probe of the sequence to bacterial colonies

Expert Solution

1. a, Fragmenting the DNA into manageable pieces

2. b, Typical plasmid DNA vectors can only harbor DNA up to a certain size (~3,000 bp)

Genomic DNA libraries are expected to contain DNA segments that might not be represented in a particular tissue-specific cDNA library. List several examples of these types of segments.

You have constructed four different libraries: a genomic library made from DNA isolated from human brain tissue, a genomic library made from DNA isolated from human muscle tissue, a human brain cDNA library, and a human muscle cDNA library. You wish to clone the human gene encoding myostatin, which is expressed only in muscle cells. A. Assuming the human genome is 3×10^9 bp and that the average insert size in the genomic libraries is 100 kb, how frequently will a...

What role does the Chelex play in the isolation of genomic DNA? A) binds DNA so that impurities can be washed away B) binds divalent metal cations that inhibit the PCR reaction C) prevents the single-stranded DNA from reannealing during PCR D) immobilizes DNA polymerase preventing its denaturation at high temperatures

You have embark on a genomic library construction project. What is the strategy that you will be taking to ensure successful cloning of genomics inserts into the pGLO vector - you are well acquainted with this plasmid molecule? You have been provided with a map of the pGLO plasmid. a) Where in the plasmid vector molecule would you insert the genomics fragments that you isolated and what restriction enzymes would you choose? b) how would you determine that indeed you...

. You have extracted extrachromosomal DNA and genomic DNA from E. coli in the lab. What is the differentiating steps during the DNA isolation so that your target DNA is not contaminated with the other unwanted DNA (i.e. you are targeting extrachromosomal DNA, so you don’t want the genomic DNA, and vice-versa)? Why and how that step can differentiate between these groups of DNA
