Illumina has partnered with Pillar Biosciences to offer library prep panels as part of a simplified, rapid next‑generation sequencing (NGS) workflow for oncology research. Panels include genes associated with solid tumors and hematological malignancies, as well as those designed for liquid biopsy, and can be run on Illumina benchtop sequencing systems. DRAGEN software and Illumina Connected Insights are available for analysis.
The workflow provides accurate variant detection across a range of DNA and RNA variant types, even with limited nucleic acid input or poor sample quality. These flexible solutions improve lab efficiency and reduce "no calls" and repeat testing to simplify data interpretation.
