c DNA

cDNA (complementary or clonal DNA) is a type of DNA used to describe libraries of genetic information. cDNA is used in testing for pharmaceuticals and research of diseases. cDNA is a complementary strand that is transcribed in laboratories to create genes.

 Genetic engineering also uses these DNA libraries to create modified versions of genomic information.
C-DNA also known as C form DNA. It is one of the many possible double helical structures of DNA.

This form of DNA could be observed at some conditions that relatively low humidity and with certain ions, such as Li+ or Mg2+.

Recent research suggests that both C-DNA and B-DNA consist of two distinct nucleotide conformations, B-I and B-II. The ratio of B-II conformation in C-DNA is more than 40%. However, the ratio of B-II conformation in B-DNA is only about 10%.
