How long can I stored restriction digested products?

12 December 2018 0 541 Report

How long I can store DNA that has been digested with restriction enzymes, gel purified and eluted in elution buffer? Will the overhangs be stable (since ss DNA are unstable) after freezing in -20 for long time? Can I use them for ligation??
