Correlation Engine Integrations

The DRAGEN Secondary Analysis system from Illumina provides accurate, comprehensive, and exceptionally efficient processing of next-generation sequencing data. By leveraging a graph reference genome in combination with machine learning methodologies, it achieves outstanding precision. With a highly streamlined workflow, it can fully analyze a 34x whole human genome in roughly 30 minutes when operated on the DRAGEN server v4. Furthermore, it optimizes this process by reducing FASTQ file sizes by as much as five times. This system is proficient in handling diverse types of NGS data, such as whole genomes, exomes, methylomes, and transcriptomes. It has been designed to work seamlessly with the user's chosen platform and can scale to accommodate various needs. DRAGEN analysis is consistently recognized as a frontrunner in accuracy for detecting both germline and somatic variants, supported by its strong performance in industry competitions hosted by precisionFDA. This sophisticated analytical tool enables laboratories of all sizes and specialties to fully leverage their genomic datasets. Additionally, the integration of highly adaptable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology allows DRAGEN to implement hardware-accelerated genomic analysis algorithms, significantly improving its efficiency. These advancements firmly establish DRAGEN as an essential asset in the rapidly advancing realm of genomics, enabling researchers to push the boundaries of scientific discovery.
