1. A method of making a library of circular single-stranded target nucleic acid molecules from a sample comprising a plurality of double-stranded target nucleic acid molecules, the method comprising:
(a) denaturing the double-stranded molecule, thereby forming two strands of the target molecule;
(b) annealing a capture molecule to each strand of the target molecule, wherein the capture molecule is a circular single-stranded nucleic acid molecule comprising two sequences, wherein the two sequences comprise: (i) one sequence that is complementary to at least a portion of the 5′-end of the strand of the target molecule, and (ii) one sequence that is complementary to at least a portion of the 3′-end of the strand of the target molecule, thereby forming a hybrid molecule comprising the capture molecule hybridized to the sequences at the 5′-end and the 3′-end of the strand of the target molecule;
(c) extending the 3′-end of the strand of the target molecule to reach the 5′-end of the strand of the target molecule;
(d) ligating the 5′-end and the 3′-end of the strand of the target molecule, thereby forming a hybrid molecule comprising the capture molecule and a circularized strand of the target molecule; and
(e) separating the capture molecule from the circularized strand of the target molecule, thereby forming a library of circular single-stranded target nucleic acid molecules.
