Complementary DNA (cDNA) is a double-stranded DNA molecule synthesized in vitro from mRNA using reverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase, corresponding to a gene's exons.
Complementary DNA (cDNA) is a double-stranded DNA molecule synthesized from messenger RNA (mRNA) using reverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase, representing the exons of a gene.
