Abstract

Embodiments include methods, compositions, and kits for creating genetic libraries useful for massively parallel genetic sequencing. Some embodiments are directed to methods of preventing the contamination of genetic libraries with material generated during the formation of other genetic libraries. In some embodiments, the methods employ adapters comprising universal priming sites. The methods can employ non-ligatable primers to generate non-ligatable amplification products so as to prevent unwanted ligation to adapters. In some embodiments, the non-ligatable primers contain uracil. Genetic material can be treated with uracil N glycosylase to prevent the unwanted ligation of uracil containing amplicons to adapters used for creating a second genetic library.
