Recorded Webinar (May 2020) | llumina Technical Support invites you to learn about BaseSpace, Illumina’s cloud-based sequencing data analysis solution. In this presentation, we will discuss how to navigate the BaseSpace dashboard, general BaseSpace functionally, and tips and tricks for successful application and workflow utilization. We will cover the following topics: How to upload/view data in BaseSpace, discussion of major analysis workflows, general overview of how to analyze data on BaseSpace.
Please note: BaseMount and BaseSpace CLI are alpha software releases; features and functionality may change over time, and support is directly through Illumina software development.
This course provides an overview of the DRAGEN analysis pipelines. By the end of this course, you will be able to identify the role of the DRAGEN Platform in secondary data analysis, list the available pipelines, and briefly describe the expected performance and accuracy.

Recorded Webinar (November 2019) | The Illumina DRAGEN (Dynamic Read Analysis for GENomics) Bio-IT Platform utilizes Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware in combination with efficiently written software to provide highly-accurate analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data in a fraction of the time required with traditional CPU-based methods. The DRAGEN platform is a cost-efficient analysis solution that is easily scalable between analyzing small and very large sequencing data sets. This webinar is intended for users of DRAGENon-site servers with working knowledge of the Linux command line. In this webinar, we will discuss the following topics: Building reference hash tables and the various advanced options available; Recommended best practices for data input and output withDRAGEN on-site servers; Description of different types of variant calling available for the Germline pipeline, and; Demonstration of Germline variant calling with advanced options.
Recorded Webinar (November 2020) | The DRAGEN team is excited to announce the release of DRAGEN version 3.7. As always, this is a major release that includes several new features and accuracy improvements. We are most excited to release the first version of our accelerated Single Cell RNA pipeline. We are also enabling our customers with improvements that the DRAGEN team has made that enabled the winning entry in the Precision FDA v2 challenge. Additionally, we are able to provide our users an end to end workflow using UMIs, especially the introduction of the SNV caller for UMI based samples. We have made further improvements in the SV and CNV calling accuracy with new features. For Whole Genome Somatic samples, we are now able to run more integrated workflows with all our variant callers. We would like to also share more improvements around our Pop Gen Cohort calling initiative. There are new features added to the Methylation pipeline that we consider will be extremely valuable to users who run that pipeline. As always, we will make these updates available for onsite and cloud users across our various platforms.
Recorded Webinar (October 2020) | Illumina Technical Support invites you to join us for a discussion of how to perform data analysis using DRAGEN on the new NextSeq 1000/2000 platform. The webinar is designed to acquaint customers with using DRAGEN on board the NextSeq 1000/2000 as well as in the cloud. The webinar will cover: instrument run setup in the cloud, discussion of hybrid vs cloud mode analysis, DRAGEN Analysis pipelines, and tips and best practices
Upcoming Webinar | Following Metagenomics Sequencing Part I, in this webinar, we will discuss Introduction to Data Analysis in Metagenomics. We assume a basic understanding of Illumina sequencing technology and knowledge of library prep workflow for Metagenomics. We will discuss the following topics: Overview of Targeted Metagenomics and Shotgun Metagenomics, Options for Metagenomics Data Analysis: 16s Metagenomics App and DRAGEN metagenomics Pipeline on BaseSpace Sequence Hub, and Overview of DRAGEN RNA Pathogen Detection App on BaseSpace Sequence Hub.
