Illumina DRAGEN is a Bio-IT Platform that provides ultra-rapid secondary analysis of sequencing data using field-programmable gate array technology (FPGA).

DRAGEN has a number of different pipelines and outputs, including base calling, DNA and RNA alignment, post-alignment processing and variant calling, covering virtually all stages of typical NGS data processing. For each stage, it generates QC files with metrics resembling those of samtools-stats, mosdepth, bcftools-stats and alike. This MultiQC module supports some of the output but not all.
