DNA fragments with either sticky ends or blunt ends can be inserted into vector DNAwith the aid of DNA ligases. During normal DNA replication, DNA ligase catalyzes the end-to-end joining (ligation) of short fragments of DNA, called Okazaki fragments. ...DNA ligase can then repair these nicks to form an intact duplex.
