# Quick check of run quality

Checking coverage on the target regions can be a quick way to determine if the map/align step ran as expected. Following the enrichment and sequencing guidelines, the Mean Target Coverage (MTC) Depth for tumor samples is expected to be ≥130x, for normal samples ≥50x. This metric is called "Average alignment coverage over target region" and can be found in the \<sample>.target\_bed\_coverage\_metrics\_\<tumor/normal>.csv file. Note that results for "Target bed" should be evaluated, as DRAGEN Report defaults to genome, while this is a target-based, WES, assay. Another metric to check is "Aligned reads in target region", which gives a percentage of the reads in the target region relative to the entire genome and can be thought as Percent Read Enrichment.\
\
Other quality metrics to check can include the percentage of Mapped Reads (aim of ≥ 90%) and the Insert length (aim of ≥ 125bp) in the \<sample>.mapping\_metrics.csv file.
