Supported Variant callers

Emedgene provides the tightest integration with DRAGEN for germline variation analysis, providing accuracy, comprehensiveness, and efficiency, spanning variant calling through interpretation and report generation.

Compatibility with DRAGEN Variant Callers

Extensive Compatibility with Additional Variant Callers

The Emedgene platform supports a variety of variant callers and applies specific quality parameters for each. The quality assessment is an essential step in the Emedgene pipeline because variants with low quality will not be considered by the AI components.

If the variant caller is not supported or not recognized, a default quality function will be applied. The default parameters are built on GT (genotype), depth (DP) and allele bias (AB). These fields are mandatory, and their absence will induce “Low quality” for all variants.

The following variant callers are currently supported on the Emedgene pipeline, providing a header with the variant caller command line should be present within the VCF headers.

Additional callers can be supported on demand.
