This Partner Solution deploys the Illumina DRAGEN (Dynamic Read Analysis for GENomics) Bio-IT Platform to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
The DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform enables ultra-rapid analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, significantly reduces the time required to analyze genomic data, and improves accuracy. It includes bioinformatics pipelines that provide optimized algorithms for mapping, aligning, sorting, duplicate marking, and haplotype variant calling. These pipelines include Germline, Somatic (tumor and tumor/normal), RNA, Single Cell RNA, Methylation, Joint Genotyping, and DRAGEN-GATK.
The Partner Solution builds an AWS environment that spans two Availability Zones for high availability and provisions two AWS batch-compute environments for spot instances and on-demand instances. These environments include DRAGEN F1 instances that are connected to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for hardware acceleration.
