Abstract

See full text

Methods are provided for ligating a 3′ adapter and a 5′ adapter to a target polynucleotide so as to avoid adapter dimer formation. Embodiments of the methods include adding a blocking oligonucleotide after the first ligation in which a 3′ adapter is ligated to the target polynucleotide so that the blocking oligonucleotide is capable of hybridizing to excess 3′ adapter and the ligated 3′ adapter. Subsequently, a 5′ adapter is ligated to the target polynucleotide thus avoiding adapter dimer formation.
