The set of clones containing all the genes of that person would be called a genomic library. A genomic library is a collection of clones containing DNA fragments derived from the entire genome of an organism, and thus, it would be the most appropriate term for a set of clones containing all the genes of a person. A genetic library, gene library, DNA library, and nucleotide library all refer to a collection of DNA fragments, but they do not necessarily contain the entire genome or all the genes of an organism.
