5. cDNA library technologies 1) Ling’s libraries (Rubin lab) * From embryo, head, larval/pupal, S2, ovary, and testes. * “Vanilla” libraries using oligo dT primed Stratagene kit. 2) Carninci libraries (RIKEN) * From embryo and head tissues. * Cap-trapped, oligo dT primed, trehalose-stabilized RT. 3) BDGP libraries * From whole adult.

6. Advantages/disadvantages of each method Ling’s libraries not enriched for full-length, but sampled from many tissues and exist as plasmid libraries. RIKEN libraries were Cap-trapped, but contain many SNPs due to the conditions used for 1 st and 2 nd strand synthesis. Only as phagemid libraries. RLM method has only one library made so far, holds great promise…. But it has the potential of RNA ligating to incompletely de-PO4 transcripts.
