We apply this method to sequencing a human genome and find that coverage biases are comparable to those of conventional protocols. We also extend its capabilities by developing protocols for sub-nanogram library construction exome capture from 50 ng of input DNA PCR-free and colony PCR library construction and 96-plex sample indexing. Background Massively parallel DNA sequencing methods are rapidly achieving broad adoption by the life sciences research community 1 2 . As the productivity of these platforms continues to grow with hardware and software optimizations the bottleneck experienced by researchers is increasingly at the front end the construction of sequencing libraries and at the back end data analysis and interpretation rather than in the sequencing itself. The input material for commonly used platforms such as the Illumina Genome Analyzer 3 the Roche 454 Genome Sequencer 4 the Life Technologies SOLiD platform 5 as well as for real-time third-generation sequencers such as Pacific Biosciences 6 consists of complex libraries of genome- or transcriptome-derived DNA fragments flanked by platform-specific adaptors. The standard method for constructing such libraries is entirely in vitro and typically includes fragmentation of DNA mechanical or enzymatic end-polishing ligation of adaptor sequences gel-based size-selection and PCR amplification Figure 1a . .
