Streamline oncology clinical research with Illumina Connected Insights

Comprehensive insights and automation to support variant interpretation for diverse applications and variant types at scale

Confidently connect your genomic analysis workflows

The Connected Insights software harnesses extensive knowledge sources via powerful API-integrations for streamlined variant interpretation, including prioritization of relevant clinical trials, drug labels, and guidelines for clinical research. Control over your standardized workflows enables flexibility, and automation speeds your time to relevant insights with procedural consistency. Connected Insights helps you address the interpretation bottleneck and move our understanding of disease forward.

Streamlined

Harness the power of integrated knowledge sources into a single solution to bring insights to diverse applications. Automate your interpretation workflows with customizable presets.

Integrated

Remove unnecessary touchpoints and manual data movement for your NGS workflow, from sequencing through draft report. Seamless and secure, upstream and downstream, directly integrate with the latest DRAGEN secondary analysis.

Powered for growth

Keep pace with comprehensive test options that enable diverse variant and biomarker analyses. Expand assay applications and scale volume without increasing headcount and interpretation resources.

We help you achieve

Insights

Generate insights from 55+ knowledge sources including the Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB) from Genomenon, CiVIC, and OncoKB.

Private curation

Grow and manage your lab's private curated knowledge.

Automation

From data upload, automated guidelines-based oncogenicity classification, to report generation – configure your settings and automate for a streamlined experience with minimum touchpoints.

Future-proofing

Evolve with confidence across assays and applications—from panels to genomes and transcriptomes, from tissue to liquid biopsy and heme.

Regionality

Configure regional content, preferences and language to meet regional needs.

Security

Employ security-first infrastructure and conform to privacy and compliance software requirements and regulations.

Key applications

DNA variants

Identify key DNA variant types (SVs, MNVs, exon-level CNVs, indels, fusions, tandem repeats, LOH) relevant in multiple disease types and across a variety of NGS assays.

RNA variants

Analyze variants from RNA or transcriptomics (fusions, splice variants, and soon expression levels) to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of malignancies.

Biomarker signatures

Uncover more insights by interpreting genome- wide pan-cancer biomarker signatures (TMB, MSI, HRD) with increasing relevance to precision medicine.
