Description

PCR is used for the amplification of a next-generation sequencing NGS library. In addition to increasing the amount of DNA, the PCR amplification step is also used for DNA target enrichment for fragments that have an adaptor-ligated to each end. These will be the fragments that attach to the flow cell and will be sequenced, so it is important that this PCR amplification step does not introduce mutations to the NGS library, as a lower error rate means that less sequence coverage is required, saving expense and time.
