Popis: Next-generation sequencing (NSG) is an important method for gathering large amounts of sequencing data for different types of applications regarding the diagnosis and response to treatment of different diseases. An important step in the NGS process is the quality control of sequencing libraries, which can influence the yield and efficiency of the sequencing run. This study evaluated two different methods for library quality control, Agilent Bioanalyzer and qPCR, and showed that both methods can be used. However, as is the case with any analytical method, they have their limitations. The Agilent Bioanalyzer quantifies only the high quality libraries, but it underestimates their concentration, while qPCR also quantifies lower quality libraries, but it overestimates their concentration.
