cDNA libraries are comprised of complementary DNAs that are reverse transcribed from existing mRNA transcripts. Thus, only genes that are being actively transcribed in a given organism will be represented in the cDNA library, providing an accurate snapshot into the genes being expressed in this particular organism or tissue.
