The National Institutes of Health - NCI Lab of Pathology intends to solicit the services of a contractor to provide Dragen (Dynamic Read Analysis for GENomics) Sever from Illumina for on-premises solution for highly accurate and comprehensive gene and sequencing analysis. The server is user-friendly hardware to operate analysis on the server that does not require sample pooling and indexing and can only be sourced from the manufacturer, Illumina, Inc.
The main objective is to buy the bioinformatics data processing “DRAGEN” server (IT hardware) provided by the manufacturer (Illumina Inc.) for clinical Next Generation Sequencing. The DRAGEN server will have pre-installed Dragen TruSight Oncology 500 (TSO500) and Dragen TSO500 ctDNA analysis software support secondary analysis for the data generated by the Lab-s current clinical TSO500 assay, and new TSO500 v2, TSO500 HRD add-on assay, TSO500 ctDNA assay. The lab plans to start new TSO500 assays in July 2026. All new TSO500 assays come with Illumina-s proprietary bioinformatics pipeline that is only available on DRAGEN server. The server will be mounted on NIH Biowulf cluster by the NIH CIT team (a MOU has been signed between NCI and CIT).
This server comes with bio-informatics pipeline from Illumina which is optimized and runs on DRAGEN hardware. Accelerates IO process and speeds up the compute time and will eventually be used for full whole gene sequencing within the institute. It-s possible to host the server locally or on the (NCI) loud.
Existing LP pipelines are already connected to Helix drives and use BioWulf. This needs storage drives mapped. The instrumentations are connected to Helix drives. The raw data drive cannot be mapped with a service account to Helix drive. The input to DRAGEN should be from a drive that-s already mapped to a sequencer. The vendor will provide 24/7 support both remotely and locally and replace parts and provide labor and software upgrades using the exclusive hardware/software...
