Results files per sample can be found within the analysis.

### Key Output Files

To learn more about key 5-Base specific output files, reference the DRAGEN documentation: <https://help.dragen.illumina.com/product-guide/dragen-v4.4/dragen-methylation-pipeline/dragen-5base-pipeline#methylation-calling-outputs>

To learn more about non-5-Base specific output files, reference the DRAGEN DNA Pipeline documentation: <https://help.dragen.illumina.com/product-guide/dragen-v4.4/dragen-dna-pipeline>

### Where to Start when Reviewing QC

A positive (pUC19) and negative (lambda) control genome are spiked-in to each sample during library prep. Neither control is fully methylated/unmethylated, but the pUC19 control should have over 90% methylation, and the lambda control should have under 1.5% methylation. To check the methylation for these controls, review the DRAGEN Report and navigate to the Methylation tab, and then the Context QC table. The "% of CpG" column reflects the % methylation of these controls.

### CX Report

The \*CX\_report file will be generated for all analyses. It will have the following format:

<figure><img src="/files/uRFkPCm72E0CGDX2VM2A" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Each line = 1 cytosine in reference genome (with non-zero coverage)​
* \# reads can be dedup’d or not, depending on analysis settings (we use dedupping)​
* mC=methylated, C=unmethylated support​
* Overall methylation level = mC\_reads / (mC\_reads + C\_reads)​
* Overall coverage (STRANDED) = mC\_reads + C\_reads

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/dragen-5-base/additional-information/key-output-files-and-metrics.md?ask=<question>
