Reducing adapter dimer formation
First Claim
1. A method of reducing adapter dimer formation comprising contacting a sample comprising target nucleic acid sequences with 5′
- and 3′
adapters in the presence of one or more hairpin oligonucleotides under conditions to form 5′
-adapter-target-3′
-adapter sequences, wherein the amount of adapter dimer formation is reduced compared to the amount in the absence of the hairpin oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Provided herein is a method of reducing adapter dimer formation comprising contacting a sample comprising target nucleic acid sequences with 5′ and 3′ adapters in the presence of one or more hairpin oligonucleotides. Also provided is a method of preparing a library of nucleic acid sequences comprising contacting first adapter oligonucleotides with a sample comprising target nucleic acid sequences under conditions to form first ligation products, contacting the sample with one or more hairpin oligonucleotides that binds to the first adapter oligonucleotides, and contacting the sample with second adapter oligonucleotides under conditions to bind to the first ligation products and form second ligation products, wherein the second ligation products form the library of nucleic acid sequences.
