Shotgun Library Construction for DNA sequencing (CAT#: STEM-MB-0038-WXH)

Introduction

A shotgun library is a collection of random-sheared DNA molecules. These libraries typically consist of inserts ranging from 1-10kb and extensively used in DNA sequencing, gene screening and DNA mapping throughout the world.




Applications

• Small genome sequencing such as virus, phage, plasmid, etc.;
• BAC/Fosmid clone sequencing;
• Specific genes’ identification;
• Gene screening;
• Thorough sequencing with fragment lengths > 9 k and without reference sequence.

Procedure

1.High quality DNA preparation.
2.Random shearing to produce a population of DNA fragments.
3.Ligation into a standard cloning vector and transformation.
4.Verification of library quality by randomly picking clones and determining insert sizes by restriction digest or DNA sequencing.
