pT7T3-PAC Library Method Overview

Libraries in the pT7T3-PAC vector were constructed in the laboratory of Marcello Bento Soares and M. Fatima Bonaldo, University of Iowa. Briefly, the method was as follows:

• First strand cDNA synthesis was primed with oligo-dT primer containing a Not I site.
• Double stranded cDNA was ligated with an EcoR I adaptor, digested with Not I and then cloned directionally into the vector.
• Each clone in a given library had a different tag sequence located between the Not I site and the polyA tail to identify the library of origin of the clone.
