  • Dragen

    When I first heard about Dragen, it sounded interesting but recently Edico has started to make this platform available on AWS, as well as several Bioinformatics-as-a-service platforms, including DNANexus, Seven Bridges and Illumina's BaseSpace:

    I think we should all be taking a hard look at this for a couple of reasons:
    • These platforms bring it to a wide audience and make it user-friendly
    • Platform effects: It's a hardware platform with inherent limits on configurability. This will tend to drive users to stadardize on it and effectively freeze pipelines to this standard.
    • It's not available on all platforms.
    • It's really fast!


    Based on this, I think it's something to discuss because it's going to have a big impact on the industry.

    You forgot the main arguments against DRAGEN

    -licenses are limited by throughput
    -licenses are REALLY expensive
    -licenses are limited by application (buy DNA-seq, can't do RNA-seq).

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
