Abstract excerpt
Next generation sequencing (NGS) assays are state of the art for HLA genotyping. To sequence on an Illumina sequencer, the DNA of interest must be enriched, fragmented, and bookended with known oligonucleotide sequences, a process known as library construction. Many HLA genotyping assays enrich the target loci by long-range PCR (LR-PCR), prior to fragmentation. This PCR step has been reported to introduce errors...
