Method and kit for determining the genome integrity and/or the quality of a library of DNA-sequences otained by deterministic restriction site whole genome amplification

The present invention relates to a method for determining the integrity of the genome of a sample and/or the quality of a library of DNA sequences obtained by deterministic restriction site whole genome amplification (DRS-WGA) of the genome of the sample comprising the steps of: (a) providing the library of DNA sequences; (b) amplifying the library of DNA sequences by PCR using at least one first primer pair which hybridises to a DNA sequence of the library having a length from 1000 bp to 5000 bp and corresponding to a sequence of the genome located on a first chromosome arm, the step of amplifying giving rise to a first PCR product from 50 to 1000 bp; (c) detecting the first PCR product; (d) correlating the presence of the first PCR product with the integrity of the genome and/or the quality of the library of DNA sequences. The present invention further relates to a related kit and uses thereof.
