Collection de fragments d'ADN [acide désoxyribonucléique] clonés et insérés dans un vecteur.

OBS

banque de gènes : Ne pas confondre avec une banque de données relatives aux gènes d'un organisme.

OBS

Si l'ensemble de fragments d'ADN représente le génome entier on parlera de «banque génomique» et si l'ensemble est constitué seulement d'ADNc on parlera alors de «banque d'ADNc».

Colección de moléculas de ADN [ácido desoxirribonucleico] recombinante [clonado] en los cuales hay inserciones que representan el genoma completo de un organismo.

OBS

banco de genes: No confundir con banco genómico de datos.

OBS

genoteca: No confundir con "genoteca genómica", que contiene solo ADN genómico y no fragmentos de ADN provenientes de distintas fuentes, como es el caso de la genoteca.
