noun
gene library
Technical term in molecular biology for a collection of DNA fragments representing an organism's genetic material.
研究者は遺伝子ライブラリーから目的の遺伝子を単離した。
The researcher isolated the target gene from the gene library.
A genomic library contains the entire genome, while a gene library may refer to a collection of specific genes or cDNA.
A cDNA library represents only expressed genes, unlike a general gene library which may include non-coding regions.
Compound of 遺伝子 (gene) and ライブラリー (library), a direct translation of the English term 'gene library'.
