March 2024—Qiagen Digital Insights announced its enhanced CLC Genomics Workbench Premium with LightSpeed technology now supports next-generation sequencing for somatic cancer secondary analysis. The software accelerator converts raw sequencing data in FASTQ files to interpretable lists of genetic variants in variant call format files. Qiagen says LightSpeed can analyze a 275-gene comprehensive cancer panel at 3377× coverage in six minutes for less than $0.72 per test within standard cloud environments, or laboratories can run the Qiagen CLC LightSpeed technology on existing local hardware with similar performance.
