INTRODUCTION
The goal of this stage is to introduce methyl groups that will modify and protect naturally occurring EcoRI sites in the double-stranded cDNA. Note that Stage 3 is obligatory if synthetic linkers are used to attach the cDNA to a vector. However, the entire stage should be omitted if adaptors are used.
