High-efficiency cloning of Arabidopsis full-length cDNA by biotinylated CAP trapper

Plant J. 1998 Sep;15(5):707-20. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-313x.1998.00237.x.

Abstract

Full-length cDNAs are essential for functional analysis of plant genes. We constructed high-content, full-length cDNA libraries from Arabidopsis thaliana plants based on chemical introduction of a biotin group into the diol residue of the CAP structure of eukaryotic mRNA, followed by RNase I treatment, to select full-length cDNA. More than 90% of the total clones obtained were of full length; recombinant clones were obtained with high efficiency (2.2 x 10(6)/9 micrograms starting mRNA). Sequence analysis of 111 randomly picked clones indicated that 32 isolated cDNA groups were derived from novel genes in the A. thaliana genome.
