  • Patent number: 10316356
    Abstract: Provided is a method of constructing a sequencing library using an adaptor element in a bubble shape. The bubble-shaped adaptor is ligated to a DNA fragment respectively at the 3?-terminal and the 5?-terminal i.e., two bubble-shaped adaptors with same sequences are ligated in one step. The bubble-shaped adaptor-ligated product is then amplified with a primer complementary to the 3?-terminal of the long-chain nucleic acid of the bubble-shaped adaptor, so as to replace the non-paired sequence in the short-chain nucleic acid.
