Term: library type (lib_type)

The type of library created, i.e., amplicon, enriched, or shotgun. An amplicon library is a library that has been amplified to target a single specific region of a genome (e.g. a specific gene). An enriched library is a library has had a particular genome, or multiple genomic regions/positions 'captured' or enriched typically via baits/probes. A shotgun library has undergone no type of targeted amplification/enrichment for a particular genomic region or genome, i.e., random sequencing of any nucleic acid molecule contained in a genomic library.
