Definition 1
A stored copy of genetic information of a species in a preferred environment for conservation purposes. (biology-online.org) (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
A large collection of cloned DNA fragments from a given organism, tissue, organ, or cell type. It may contain complete genomic sequences (GENOMIC LIBRARY) or complementary DNA sequences, the latter being formed from messenger RNA and lacking intron sequences. (NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
Definition 3
any well-defined collection of genetic material used to identify unknown nucleic acids; classically, a collection of expressed cDNA clones representing the genome of a particular organism, used to identify newly purified genes or mRNAs by hybridization. (NIH CRISP Thesaurus)
