Input Options
DRAGEN can process reads in FASTQ format or BAM/CRAM format. DRAGEN supports the following compression options for FASTQ input files.
|
•
|
gzip or bgzip compression |
|
•
|
ORA compression. To use ORA compression, you must provide an ORA reference and reference directory. See DRAGEN ORA Compression and Decompression. |
If your input FASTQ files are gzipped, automatically decompresses the files using hardware-accelerated decompression, and then streams the reads into the mapper. If your files end in *.ora, DRAGEN automatically decompresses the files using ORA decompression, and then streams the reads into the mapper. The same FASTQ command line options apply for all compression formats.
