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.
