The nextera protocol, which utilises a transposome based approach to create libraries for illumina sequencing, requires pure dna template, an accurate assessment of input concentration and a column cleanup that limits its applicability for highthroughput sample preparation. However the resulting insert size is highly sensitive to the concentration of dna used, and the variation of insert sizes is often large.
