I am isolating okazaki fragments and want to prepare sequencing library from them. To this end I need to get rid of all the RNA nucleotides linked to the DNA (the RNA primer of the Okazaki fragment). I tried using RNAse A but then I realized that it has specificity to C and U and thus in approximately half of my fragments there will be at least one RNA nucleotide which will most probably interfere with the library preparation protocol. Moreover, I am not sure the endo nucleases such as RNAse A/ T1/ I can cut the RNA-DNA bond. Does anyone know if they can cut it? Is the Ribo Shredder (Epicentre) a good solution? Is an Alkali treatment a better direction?
