[Construction of a gene library using partial filling of DNA sticky ends]
Abstract
To prepare gene libraries, the incomplete filling of protruding ends has been used. DNAs from phages EMBL 3 and EMBL 3a were sequentially digested with SalI and EcoRI, followed by addition of dTTP, dCTP, and DNA polymerase I (Klenow's fragment). Separately, a genomic DNA was partially cleaved with Sau3AI, followed by addition of dATP, dGTP, and Klenow's fragment. The fragmented phage and genomic DNAs were mixed and ligated, and the recombinant DNAs packed in vitro with the phage proteins. The effectiveness of packaging per microgram of genomic DNA was 10(5) to 10(6) (for the wild phage DNA, 10(7)). The proposed procedure is very rapid and needs only microgram quantities of genomic DNA for preparing a representative gene library. It is also useful for other vectors, containing SalI sites.
