Single DNA strands to be sequenced are pulled through the aperture of the nanopore one base at a time d. DNA strands to be sequenced are mixed with copies of an enzyme before sequencing e. Single-stranded fragments are sequenced in real-time

Which of the following statements about next-generation sequencing is true? A. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is capable of detecting genetic alterations of any possible size scale (e.g. point mutations, length-affecting mutations, ploidy changes, etc.). B. Library preparation refers to the multiplexing of individually barcoded samples in a single run to leverage platform throughput. C. Short DNA fragments are suitable for NGS analysis. D. Following DNA fragmentation and adaptor ligation, a sample is ready for targeted sequencing.
