(57) SUMMARY The present invention relates generally to methods for labeling, selecting, and screening a population of nucleic acids. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for selecting and comparing complex nucleic acid populations, such as cDNA libraries. These nucleic acid complex populations can be derived from cell or tissue types with various phenotypes of potential clinical interest. The method generally, ValiGene SM peptide tag known as oligonucleotides (P eptide- L abeled O ligonucleotide) method or VG-PLO SM, identifiable and identifiable peptide tag linked to the same oligonucleotide primers Including the use of |
