  • Amplification-based cloning method
    Publication number: 20030165979
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for isolating a nucleic acid molecule of interest from a nucleic acid library, which involves generating multiple copies of a nucleic acid molecule of interest present in the library and an enrichment step to remove template nucleic acid molecules. The method of invention has greater efficiency and possesses superior features compared to conventional cloning methods, and is capable of use for identifying and isolating known and novel nucleic acid molecules.
    Type: Application
