mRNA is used as the very first step in the creation of cDNA library. MRNA is first acted upon by Reverse transcriptase and this ultimately leads to the formation of cDNA library.

cDNA is a complementary DNA of processed m RNA.

In eukaryotes the gene is interrupted with introns (non coding regions) to obtain the desire target gene cDNA is used for further processing. That's why these processed m RNA (without introns) is used from which we make cDNA.
