Cut sequencing storage costs dramatically with DRAGEN ORA compression. Labs are saving approximately $900 for each 25B flowcell and reducing FASTQ.GZ file sizes up to 5x — delivering up to 80% savings on storage costs without sacrificing data quality or downstream compatibility. ORA compression is available on Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA) from FASTQ.GZ to FASTQ.ORA on CPU, with negligible overhead for downstream analysis.
