We describe a protocol in which libraries are constructed from single DNA strands in a three-step procedure: single-stranded ligation of the first adapter with T4 DNA ligase in the presence of a splinter oligonucleotide, copying of the DNA strand with a proofreading polymerase, and blunt-end ligation of the second double-stranded adapter with T4 DNA ligase. %K NGS ; Library preparation ; Ancient DNA ; Single-stranded ligation ; T4 DNA ligase %B Ancient DNA: Methods and Protocols %E Shapiro, Beth; Barlow, Axel; Heintzman, Peter D.; Hofreiter, Michael; Paijmans, Johanna L.
