Bridge amplification generates clusters of DNA fragments on the flow cell, enabling the amplification of sequencing signals

The process creates a dense array of identical DNA fragments from each starting template, essential for high-throughput sequencing

Bridge amplification is not used in RNA sequencing, as RNA templates cannot be processed on an Illumina flow cell.

The process creates dense clusters of identical DNA molecules necessary for high signal intensity during sequencing.

During bridge amplification, DNA bends to hybridize with nearby primers, forming a "bridge" structure

Bridge amplification occurs after DNA fragments are attached to the flow cell via complementary adapter sequences.

None of the above/below

DNA fragments are amplified in solution before being deposited onto the flow cell

Each cluster on the flow cell originates from multiple DNA fragments to improve accuracy
