High genomic complexity of sub-nanogram samples
• 1 nanogram of DNA: • 1 ng/6 pg = ~350 human
haploid genomes
• Theoretical max unique sequence depth of ~350x
• 100 picogram of DNA: • >1000 bacterial cells
• ~15 human cells
• ~35 unique copies of the human haploid genome, in theory enough for 30x WGS

The challenge: as input decreases so does the fraction of useful data
Advanced NGS library prep for challenging samples
Challenging samples:
• Sample quantity
• Sample quality • Degradation • Modification
• Low sample-to-data conversion due to enzymatic inefficiency and loss during lab processing
• Lower than expected sequencing depth across challenging regions
• Low sequence data quality leading to lower % of mapped reads
• High % adapter contamination

Challenges in cell-free DNA library construction
Cell-free DNA poses special challenges for library construction
• Low amount of input DNA• 1-100 ng/ml plasma
• cfDNA amounts in plasma are highly variable • from person to person• different also depending on health status in the same person
• Small cfDNA size (majority ~170 bp)
Integrated sample and library prep protocols are required that work both with low-input DNA amount AND also with wide range of DNA input.
