@AntoBeck Today is feeling like that too

[Dale Watkins @DBWatkins]

@PratikChandrani @illumina Unfortunately not. The open source DRAGEN-GATK pipeline has not been developed at the same speed as DRAGEN, e.g. DRAGEN-GATK has functional equivalence against DRAGEN v3.4, whereas we just released DRAGEN v4.2

[Dale Watkins @DBWatkins]

Excited about @Illumina's DRAGEN™ 4.2? 🚀 Check out this blog showcasing the remarkable improvements achieved over the past two years. DRAGEN now outperforms BWA-GATK by an incredible 83% on combined SNP and indel accuracy.🧬#Genomics #Bioinformatics https://t.co/KoqfzkGr7a
