Abstract

Protocol for the preparation of single indexed double-stranded DNA libraries for Illumina sequencing, optimized for ultra-short ancient DNA molecules, modified from Meyer & Kircher (2010) Cold Spring Harb. Protoc. (doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot5448). This protocol does include treatment with UDG (USER) to remove DNA damage in form of deaminated cytosines.

Guidelines

Please read the general guidelines for working in the Ancient DNA protocol collection – University of Tartu, Institute of Genomics.
