The Illumina DRAGEN Secondary Analysis system offers precise, thorough, and highly efficient processing of next-generation sequencing data. Utilizing a graph reference genome alongside machine learning techniques, it achieves remarkable accuracy. The workflow is exceptionally streamlined, capable of completely analyzing a 34x whole human genome in approximately 30 minutes when using the DRAGEN server v4. Additionally, it enhances this workflow by compressing FASTQ file sizes by up to five times. This system is adept at analyzing a variety of NGS data types, including whole genomes, exomes, methylomes, and transcriptomes. It is designed to be compatible with the user's preferred platform and is scalable to meet varying requirements. DRAGEN analysis consistently ranks as a leader in accuracy for both germline and somatic variant detection, as evidenced by its performance in industry competitions conducted by precisionFDA. This advanced analysis solution empowers laboratories of all sizes and specialties to maximize the potential of their genomic datasets. Moreover, the implementation of highly adaptable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology allows DRAGEN to deliver hardware-accelerated genomic analysis algorithms, further enhancing its performance. Such advancements position DRAGEN as a vital tool in the ever-evolving field of genomics.
