Mixed population of cDNAs (complementaryDNA) made from mRNA from a defined source, usually a specific cell type. This term should be associated only to nucleic acid interactors not to their proteins product. For instance in 2h screening use living cells (MI:0349) as sample process. ALT DEF (PRS):: a cDNA library is a collection of host cells, typically E.Coli cells but not exclusively. modified by transfer of plasmid DNA molecule used as vector containing a fragment or totality of cDNA molecule (the insert) . cDNA library may have an array of role and applications.
