cDNAs with dA, and add 5′ linkers with T4 DNA ligase and duplex adapters
ending with a (T)TTTGGG overhang.
+ - In SMART (switching mechanism at the 5′ end of the RNA transcript), [[Zhu,
+ Machleder, Chenchik, Li and Siebert (2001)]] , first-strand cDNAs are
+ prepared with rGrGrG TSOs containing a SfiIB site and oligo-dT RT primers
+ containing a SfiIA site. Second-strand synthesis with low-cycle PCR, followed
+ with standard cloning methods.

- The "_terminal continuation_" method ([[Ginsberg et al.,
2002|biblio/12462399]], [[Che et al., 2004|biblio/14647400]]) is essentially
a template switching with DNA oligonucleotides ending in `CCC` or `GGG`. `AAA`
