# DRAGEN Array Cytogenetics Analysis

### DRAGEN Array - Cytogenetics Analysis

#### Cytogenetics Threshold Adjustment <a href="#section-cytogenetics-threshold-adjustment" id="section-cytogenetics-threshold-adjustment"></a>

When using **DRAGEN Array – Cytogenetics analysis** or **DRAGEN Array - Cytogenetics analysis + Emedgene interpretation** cloud analysis types, additional customization options will appear after product files are selected within Configuration Settings. Adjustments to these thresholds will be saved as part of the Configuration Setting. Thresholds can be adjusted based on results objectives. Adjusting thresholds will impact the number of events called and thus, the output in the VCF and JSON files.

The recommended thresholds/settings are pre-set within the software for any new configurations:

| Threshold                 | Default Value | Min Value | Max Value |
| ------------------------- | ------------- | --------- | --------- |
| GTC Output                | False         | N/A       | N/A       |
| SNV VCF Output            | False         | N/A       | N/A       |

### DRAGEN Array - Cytogenetics analysis + Emedgene interpretation <a href="#section-dragen-array-cytogenetics-analysis-emedgene-interpretation" id="section-dragen-array-cytogenetics-analysis-emedgene-interpretation"></a>

This analysis type integrates with [Emedgene](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene) to display results in a user-friendly interface.

**Note:** Support for each DRAGEN Array version begins with a specific Emedgene release and continues with later versions. For more details see the [compatibility table](https://help.emg.illumina.com/emedgene-analyze-manual/supported-vcfs-variant-callers#compatibility-with-dragen-and-dragen-array-variant-callers) on the Emedgene help site. In that table, "EMG version" refers to the combination of the **Platform minor version** (Organization Settings > Environment > Platform minor version) and the **case pipeline version** (Organization Settings > Workbench & Pipeline > Pipeline versions > 4. case). Both must be updated. The **Secondary Analysis Pipeline** setting (Organization Settings > Workbench & Pipeline > Pipeline versions > 1. Sample) is not related to DRAGEN Array integration with Emedgene.

#### Prerequisites <a href="#section-prerequisites" id="section-prerequisites"></a>

* You'll need an additional Emedgene subscription to be either "Array", "Professional", or "Enterprise" tier. You can also follow the [Illumina Software Registration Guide](https://help.connected.illumina.com/account-management/rg-registration) to obtain that subscription.
* To ensure proper integration with Emedgene (EMG), [ICA notifications](https://help.ica.illumina.com/project/p-notifications) must be enabled for the specific ICA BSSH-managed project. EMG relies on these notifications to detect when an analysis has successfully completed. To configure SNS ([Amazon Web Services Simple Notification Service](https://aws.amazon.com/sns/)) events in your managed ICA BSSH-managed project, follow these steps:

  * In the [ICA portal](https://ica.illumina.com/ica/), in the ICA BSSH-managed project (e.g. "BSSH Your Workgroup Name") navigate to the **Notifications** section via the left-hand menu.

  ![ICA Notifications Menu](/files/vgLypchxSx8DtqJq62Gz)

  * Click **+ Create**, then select **ICA Event**.

  ![ICA Event](/files/0ul2TMY3nqmZNLAhvmtG)

  * Fill in the required fields as follows:
    * **Event:** Analysis Success
    * **Type:** SNS
    * **Address:** Provide the correct address based on your region (contact <techsupport@illumina.com> if unsure).
    * **Payload Version:** v4
    * **AWS Region:** This will be auto-populated based on the provided address.
    * (Recommended) Click **Send Test Message** to verify the configuration.
    * Click **Save** to complete the setup.

For more details on the prerequisites for this analysis, see the [Automatic Case Creation from ICA](https://help.emg.illumina.com/emedgene-analyze-manual/integrations/automatic-case-creation-from-ica-cyto-array-analysis) section in the Emedgene User Guide.\
For more details on limitations for this analysis see the [release notes](/support-and-updates/release-notes/dragen-array-v1.3.0-release-notes/dragen-array-v1.3.0-emg-release-notes.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dragenarray.illumina.com/product-guides/dragen-array-cloud-analysis/overview/dragen-array-cytogenetics-analysis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
