Sample preparation is quickly becoming a bottleneck in the Next generation sequencing (NGS)<br />
pipeline. While NGS libraries can be multiplexed, combined and sequenced together on a single<br />
lane, or chip, generating individual libraries is tedious and time consuming. In addition, the multiple<br />
steps required to construct a library provide numerous opportunities for errors and sample loss.<br />
In order to increase the throughput of library construction, reduce errors and sample loss, we have<br />
developed a robust, flexible, enzymatic fragmentation method. Fragmentation can be combined with<br />
end repair and dA‐tailing in a single step, or performed independently, to allow use in any NGS<br />
platform and optimization prior to library construction. This method is compatible with a broad<br />
range of DNA inputs and insert sizes. Libraries generated using this enzymatic fragmentation method<br />
with 5 ng and 100 ng of intact DNA show no significant difference in coverage uniformity or<br />
distribution from libraries generated with mechanically sheared DNA. Likewise, libraries generated<br />
to contain 200 bp and 900 bp inserts show no significant difference in sequence quality from each<br />
other or those generated with mechanically sheared DNA. Interestingly and importantly, enzymatic<br />
fragmentation generates libraries of substantially higher yields (2‐3 fold) than those generated using<br />
mechanically fragmented DNA.<br />
The ability to generate high quality NGS libraries from intact DNA without the need for numerous<br />
cleanup and liquid transfer steps will substantially reduce the time, cost and errors associated with<br />
library construction. In addition, these advances will permit greater use and adoption of NGS<br />
technologies into many scientific arenas.<br />
