In 2024, Ultima Genomics launched the UG 100 sequencing platform with bold performance and accuracy claims. To evaluate these claims, Illumina conducted a comparative analysis of the NovaSeq X Series and the UG 100 platform. This article details the results of the analysis.
The Illumina 5-base solution provides a streamlined, end-to-end NGS library prep and analysis workflow for simultaneous methylation profiling and high-accuracy genetic variant calling.
Here, we present updated versions of SMN and HBA targeted callers, released in DRAGEN v4.4, as well as a spike-in panel that can be used to supplement the Illumina DNA Prep with Exome 2.5 Enrichment panel to allow for accurate HBA and SMN genotyping on Illumina exomes.
