Methods: Differentially expressed cDNA fragments (AF152605 and AF091517) were labeled by PCR, and Northern blot was used to confirmed transcript length of these genes. Skeleton muscle cDNA library was screened with PCR-labeled probe mixture. Results: 23 positive independent and overlapping positive clones were obtained. By sequencing the positive clones directly, three novel genes (Genbank accession number: AF179285, AF170307 and AF194971), with transcripts of 2.1 Kb, 1.1 Kb and 1.4 Kb respectively, were isolated successfully. Conclusions: Library screening using PCR-labeled probes mixture is an efficient method to get full-length cDNA from multi-cDNA fragment simultaneously and quickly.展开更多
