Expression Libraries
Traditional Library DNA Clone Library
Expression library is the collection of clones capable to express protein. It stores genetic information to facilitate the study of the roles of genes and proteins in a systematic and high-throughput (HTP) manner.

2) Selection of appropriate vector
3) Selection of appropriate cloning strategy

ORFs – The insert of choice for expression clones
Due to the lack of introns, ORFs can be expressed to study protein functions.
Templates to Generate ORF Clones
(1) Genomic DNA: all genes equally present but not suitable for genes with introns (most eukaryotes);
(2) cDNA: no introns between exons but the biases on mRNA expression exist both temporary and spatially;
(3) Vector with the gene of interest (GOI): gene specific primers can be designed to amplify the GOI for the cloning into the desired vectors;
(4) Gene Synthesis (Chemical or PCR-based method). Allows the codon usage optimization. High cost.

Creator cloning system
•Creating Master Clones With In-Fusion: In-Fusion enzyme fuses DNA fragments, e.g., PCR generated sequences and linearized vectors, precisely by recognizing a 15bp overlap at their ends.
•Creating Expression Clones With Creator Cloning: 1. Cre recombinase mediates the recombination between DNA sequences at loxP sites; 2. Donor vectors contain two loxP sites, which flank the 5’ of GOI and 5’ of CmR resistance gene; 3. Acceptor vectors contain a single loxP site, followed by a bacteria promoter to facilitate the expression CmR gene after recombination.
