Which enzyme is critical to making a cDNA library but is not used in making a genomic library? Reverse transcriptase Restriction enzymes DNA ligase Both processes use the same enzymes
Added by Laura A.
Step 1
Then, the enzyme reverse transcriptase is used to synthesize a complementary DNA (cDNA) strand from the mRNA template. This process is unique to cDNA library construction and is not used in making a genomic library. Show more…
