Abstract

The present invention is directed to a process for the separation and characterization of the functions potentially present in a biological sample containing nucleic acids, characterized in that it comprises the steps of preparation of nucleic acid fragments starting from said sample, association of each one of said fragments with a vector molecule, isolation of each fragment associated with a vector molecule or with a part of each construction composed of a fragment associated with a vector molecule, in vitro treatment of each fragment associated with a vector molecule or of a part of each construction composed of a fragment associated with a vector molecule to obtain transcripts, and testing of the function of the transcripts or of the proteins encoded thereby after translation of said transcripts.
