Illumina® DRAGEN™ Secondary Analysis

Illumina DRAGEN (Dynamic Read Analysis for GENomics) secondary analysis was developed to address important challenges associated with analyzing NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) data for a range of applications, including genome, exome, transcriptome, and methylome studies. DRAGEN secondary analysis processes NGS data and enables tertiary analysis to drive insights. The available tools make up a highly accurate, comprehensive, and efficient solution that enables labs of all sizes and disciplines to do more with their genomic data.
