Short Description of Library:
The mRNA was isolated from lyophilized mid-maturity stage ‘Williams’ cotyledons provided by Dr. Lila Vodkin, University of Illinois. Stratagene’s cDNA Synthesis Kit (catalog number 200401) was used to synthesize the cDNA. First-strand synthesis was performed with 5-methyl dCTP, hence the ligated cDNA is hemimethylated. The first-strand synthesis primer contained a library-specific ID "tag" of ACTG, [GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAACTAGTCTCGAGACTG(T)18]. After second-strand synthesis, the cDNA ends were "polished" with cloned Pfu DNA polymerase, ligated to EcoRI adapters with a library-specific ID "tag" of ACTG added (AATTCGGCACGAGACTG), and phosphorylated. The XhoI site within the first-strand synthesis primer was restricted by digestion with XhoI; all XhoI sites in the cDNA would be protected by their hemimethylated status. The cDNA constructs were size-fractionated with a 400 bp cutoff, using a SizeSep 400 Spun column from Pharmacia. The column eluent was then ligated into Stratagene’s pBluescript® II XR predigested vector (pBluescript II SK(+) that had been digested with EcoRI and XhoI, and phosphorylated). Both the white and blue colonies appear to contain recombinant plasmids with cDNA inserts. A complete vector and adapter sequence, from M13 Reverse primer to M13 -20 primer, is shown below.
