Overview

TruSight Oncology 500 (TSO 500) is an NGS assay that enables in-house comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) from FFPE tissue.

  • Targets 523 genes to assess all DNA and RNA variant types (SNV, CNV, indels, fusions), plus MSI, TMB and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)

  • Delivers accurate results with hybrid–capture chemistry and sophisticated bioinformatics

  • Reduces hands-on time with optional automation kits and methods*

  • Also available in a high-throughput configuration

Thorough results

Evaluate > 500 pan-cancer biomarkers aligned with guidelines and clinical trials to increase chances of finding a positive biomarker with a single assay. Assess genomic instability with the optional add-on HRD kit.

Streamlined workflow

Get results in 4–5 days using manual or automated workflows integrated with ready-to-use DRAGEN secondary analysis pipelines via on-premises server or in the cloud with Illumina Connected Analytics. Access insights and report generation with multiple options, including Illumina Connected Insights or Velsera Clinical Genomics Workspace (CGW).

*Not available for TSO 500 HRD.

HRD is only available with the addition of the TruSight Oncology 500 HRD kit to TruSight Oncology 500. Not available in Japan.

Not available in all countries. Illumina Connected Insights supports user-defined tertiary analysis through API calls to third-party knowledge sources.

FAQs

The primary difference between the assays is scale. TruSight Oncology 500 runs on the NextSeq 550 or NextSeq 550Dx Instrument (in Research Mode) and can batch up to eight samples at a time. TruSight Oncology 500 HT runs on the NovaSeq 6000 System or NovaSeq 6000Dx Instrument (in Research Mode) and can batch 16–192 samples at a time, providing scalability to higher sample throughput. See the comparison table on this page for other differences.

The analysis is optimized for a minimum read length of 2 x 101 bp. Shorter read lengths down to 75 bp may work, but this has not been fully verified.

Yes, you can automate the TruSight Oncology 500 workflow with vendor developed methods.

The Illumina DRAGEN secondary analysis platform delivers greater variant calling accuracy at twice the speed of non-DRAGEN options.1 Increased accuracy provides better performance for sample QC, complex variants, small variants, fusions, and splice variants, as well as exon-level CNV calling for BRCA1/BRCA2. DRAGEN pipelines are also compatible with the TruSight Oncology 500 HRD assay for HRD identification. 

Yes, you can perform analysis with your own software. However, Illumina will not be able to directly provide technical support in this case.
