# Which BaseSpace apps and features use Illumina BioInsight Platform Core

Illumina BioInsight Platform Core (Platform Core, formerly, Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA)) is a cloud-based software platform intended to be used to manage, analyze, and interpret large volumes of multiomics data in a secure, scalable, and flexible environment. With BaseSpace utilizing underlying features in Platform Core, it allows BaseSpace users to take advantage of the features and technology in Platform Core.

**BaseSpace Apps**

The following BaseSpace Apps currently perform analysis in Illumina BioInsight Platform Core

* BCL Convert
* BaseSpace to ICA Data Copy
* All latest versions of DRAGEN applications with the following exceptions:
  * DRAGEN Metagenomics Pipeline v3.7.0
  * DRAGEN PopGen v4.3.6
  * DRAGEN Differential Expression v4.4.4000
  * Dragen Joint Genotyping Pipeline v4.4.6000
  * DRAGEN FastQC + MultiQC v3.9.5001

**Sequencing Runs**

The following sequencing runs use Platform Core, but all files and features are accessible through BaseSpace.

* The NovaSeq X Series and MiSeq i100 systems will connect through BaseSpace and ultimately store the run files in Platform Core. During login, the NovaSeq X Control software will verify that all BaseSpace and Platform Core resources are available to make sure no issues occur during run upload.
* The NextSeq 1000/2000 will upload sequencing run files directly to BaseSpace. Starting with BCL Convert or DRAGEN 4.2.7 Planned Run Analysis, the FASTQ files and all other downstream analysis files will be stored in Platform Core.

**Run Planning**

All cloud analyses setup in BaseSpace Run Planning will use Platform Core to perform the secondary analysis, including [autolaunch analyses](https://help.connected.illumina.com/analysis/analysis_autolaunch).

**BaseSpace Resources**

When uploading resources through the Resources Tab, the files will be uploaded to Platform Core so they are accessible for any DRAGEN analysis. This includes BED files and custom reference hash tables.

**BaseSpace Transfers**

Any runs or projects containing data in Platform Core may take up to 24 hours to complete transfer. When the transfer is accepted, the items will be immediately visible in the recipients account, but downloading the data or using it as input will be restricted until the transfer process has completed.

**Data Archive**

Archiving any data that is based in Platform Core cannot currently be archived in BaseSpace. This feature will be enabled in a future BaseSpace release.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/software/general/software-general-reference_material-list/000009045.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
