Optimization of enzymatic fragmentation is crucial to maximize genome coverage: a comparison of library preparation methods for Illumina sequencing

Abstract: Background Novel commercial kits for whole genome library preparation for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms promise shorter workflows, lower inputs and cost savings. Time savings are achieved by employing enzymatic DNA fragmentation and by combining end-repair and tailing reactions. Fewer cleanup steps also allow greater DNA input flexibility (1 ng-1 μg), PCR-free options from 100 ng DNA, and lower price as compared to the well-established sonication and tagmentation-based DNA li… Show more

“…PCR amplification has long been an important step of sample preparation, ensuring the adequate amount of DNA fragments for sequencing. However, recently adapted techniques offer the possibility for PCR-free library preparation, which might help to alleviate the problem of PCR-related errors, such as duplicates and erroneous fragments [ 12 , 26 ].…”

“…Tagmentation-based libraries are cost-effective for large numbers of samples, while ligation-based PCR-free workflows are free from transposase binding site bias and PCR artefacts, and so are more suitable for obtaining a high-quality validation set. While this differential processing could introduce systematic differences in sensitivity and precision in detecting variants ( Ribarska et al 2022 ), we think it does not substantially influence the parameter selection and coverage/sample size assessment performed in this study because: (1) a predetermined set of variants is used for imputation, and so false positives in the low-coverage samples have no impact on the imputation process; (2) the high-coverage samples are only used to validate the imputation process, and are not directly compared to the low-coverage samples; (3) the relative imputation accuracy between two imputation runs depends on the respective ancestral haplotype reconstructions, which are the same for both sets of samples. However, it must be noted that the values reported in this work refer to the high-coverage samples only and may not be fully representative of the imputation performance in samples prepared with a different methodology.…”
