Schematic of randomized splint ligation library preparation. First the preadenylated 3′ adapter is ligated on using randomized splint ligation. Following adapter ligation, the excess adapter is depleted using 5′ deadenylase and lambda exonuclease, and the degenerate portion of the adapter is cleaved off by excising the deoxyuracil using USER. Next the 5′ adapter is ligated on using randomized splint ligation and cDNA is synthesized using the remaining portion of the 3′ adapter splint strand as a primer for the reverse transcription. Finally, library molecules containing both adapters are enriched and extended using PCR.
