The best results are obtained by using libraries with similar median insert sizes (i.e., 200−350 bp inserts), as measured by fragment analysis.
Libraries with broad or variable size distribution (i.e., transposase-based workflows) that demonstrate size-dependent clustering effects on Illumina sequencers, and are independent of molarity, may have more variable results.
