We demonstrate how to incorporate a pan genome and significantly boosted STR, SV, CNV calling. Merging all variants across samples using IGG & Truvari -> annotation with NIRVANA! One framework to do it all! #DRAGEN v4.2 will be open access for academia within certain # sample!🥳

A correlation matrix is a powerful tool used in data analysis to understand the relationship between multiple variables. It provides a clear visual representation of how each variable relates to the others, making it easier to spot patterns and dependencies within the data. Why
