Illumina Metagenomics Analysis Solutions: Local and Cloud Workflows

Illumina offers a comprehensive portfolio of metagenomics analysis solutions that support both local and cloud-based workflows, enabling researchers to choose the approach that best fits their needs. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of Illumina's metagenomics analysis ecosystem, including DRAGEN-based workflows available on-premises, onboard MiSeq i100, and cloud-based applications in BaseSpace Sequence Hub. We will highlight solutions for 16S analysis, microbial amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and targeted pathogen detection.

The session will also cover important considerations for metagenomics data analysis, including reference database options, interpretation of key quality metrics, data visualization, custom database integration, and choosing the appropriate analysis strategy for different study types.
