  Sorry for being unclear…
  DNA linker & DNA adaptor of course.
  Both have blunt ends on one side, but the linker has a restriction site in it, the adaptor has sticky ends which can be ligated to sticky ends made by a specific restriction enzyme.
  If both have been developed they must be functionally different in something? Don’t they?
