Welcome to DRAGEN Array

DRAGEN (Dynamic Read Analysis for GENomics) Array secondary analysis is a powerful bioinformatics software for Illumina Infinium array-based assays. DRAGEN Array uses cutting-edge data analysis tools to provide accurate, comprehensive, and highly efficient secondary analysis to maximize genomic insights and meet your research needs across multiple applications.

DRAGEN Array is offered as a local package with command-line interface (no specialized server or hardware required) and as a cloud-based package with an intuitive graphical user interface, as summerized in the table below.

	Description	Key features	Local analysis	Cloud analysis
Genotyping	Provides genotyping results for any human Infinium genotyping array.	Greater than 99.5% genotyping accuracy Genotyping VCF in as little as 35 seconds per sample
PGx – CNV calling	Provides CNV calling on 7 target PGx genes across 10 target regions, plus genotyping outputs for Infinium microarrays with enhanced PGx content.	Greater than 95% PGx CNV accuracy
PGx – star allele annotation	Provides PGx star allele and variant coverage across 2400+ targets for over 50 genes, plus PGx CNV and genotyping outputs for Infinium microarrays with enhanced PGx content.	Assess hard to discern PGx genes, including the elusive CYP2D6 with greater than 97% call rate Obtain all PGx analysis results in ~1 minute per sample
Methylation QC	Provides high-throughput, quantitative methylation quality control for Infinium methylation arrays.	21 algorithm-based quantitative control metrics with adjustable thresholds Data summary plots Proportion of CG probes passing with user defined p-value threshold
Cytogenetics analysis	Provides cytogenetic CNV calling and LOH (loss of heterozygosity) detection for human Infinium arrays.	Multiple output formats including CNV/LOH VCFs, annotated QC JSONs, and bedgraph files for Log R Ratio and B-Allele Frequency visualization Adjustable algorithm thresholds such as minimum deletion, duplication, and LOH sizes and smoothing parameters
Cytogenetics analysis + Emedgene interpretation	Provides cytogenetic CNV calling and LOH (loss of heterozygosity) detection for human Infinium arrays with added visualization and case management in Emedgene	Multiple output formats including CNV/LOH VCFs, annotated QC JSONs, and bedgraph files for Log R Ratio and B-Allele Frequency visualization Adjustable algorithm thresholds such as minimum deletion, duplication, and LOH sizes and smoothing parameters
