A widely recognized difficulty of presently used methods for complementary DNA [cDNA] cloning is obtaining cDNA segments that contain the entire nucleotide sequence of the corresponding mRNA. The cloning procedure described here mitigates this shortcoming. Of the 105 plasmid-cDNA recombinants obtained per microgram of rabbit reticulocyte mRNA, about 10% contained a complete .alpha.- or .beta.-globin mRNA sequence and at least 30-50%, but very likely more, contained the entire globin coding regions. The high efficiency of cloning full- or nearly full-length cDNA is attributed to the fact that the plasmid DNA vector [pBR322-SV40 recombinant] itself serves as the primer for 1st- and 2nd-strand cDNA synthesis, the lack of any nuclease treatment of the products, and to the fact that 1 of the steps in the procedure results in preferential cloning of recombinants with full-length cDNA over those with truncated cDNA.
