"The innovation of our DRAGEN Bio-IT Processor is reflected in our growing patent estate and, most importantly, brisk customer adoption seen in our first year of commercialization," said Pieter van Rooyen, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Edico Genome. "Our IP position provides customers as well as collaborators assurance that they're engaging with best-in-class genomic data analysis technologies and can confidently explore with us additional applications and partnerships that leverage DRAGEN's unique data-crunching capabilities for onsite and cloud deployment. Our solution provides the most efficient and cost-effective way to analyze genomic data."

The DRAGEN ultra-rapid bioinformatics processor accelerates the secondary analysis of NGS data, reducing the time required for analyzing a genome at 30x coverage from hours to minutes. DRAGEN uses a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to implement genome pipeline algorithms, including BCL conversion, compression, mapping, alignment, sorting, duplicate marking and haplotype variant calling. Pipelines available on the DRAGEN platform include Whole Genome or Exome, Transcriptome/RNAseq, Metagenome/Microbiome, Epigenome/Methylome and Joint Genotyping. The highly reconfigurable DRAGEN platform allows for custom algorithm development as well as refinement and improvement of existing pipelines.
