Protocols

Ligation-Sequencing-Kit SQK-LSK110Workflow

Secuenciación de ADN por ligación V14 (SQK-LSK114) (1)

This protocol describes how to carry out preparation and sequencing of a human cfDNA sample using the Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (SQK-LSK114). Typically, we obtain ~50 Gb of aligned data (15x coverage) for human cfDNA samples processed with this protocol.
