Abstract
Aspects of the invention relate to methods for preparing and analyzing a sequencing library from a mixed cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sample, wherein the mixed sample includes double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), damaged dsDNA (e.g., nicked dsDNA), and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules. The subject methods facilitate the collection of information from dsDNA, ssDNA and damaged DNA (e.g., nicked DNA) molecules in a sample, thereby providing enhanced diagnostic information as compared to sequencing libraries that are prepared from dsDNA alone.
