Library preparation is the initial part of the procedure for next generation sequencing. During this step, DNA or RNA is fragmented and then adhered, or ligated, to the sequencing platform allowing for sample identification. In ligation-based library prep fragmentation and ligation occur in two separate steps while in tagmentation-based library prep fragmentation and ligation are completed in one step.
