# Analysis Launch on BioInsight Platform Core

## Methods for Launching Analysis

Illumina BioInsight Platform Core (formerly ICA) supports the following methods for launching DRAGEN TruSight Oncology 500 Analysis Software.

* [Auto-launch](/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/launching-analysis/analysis-launch-on-ica/auto-launch-of-dragen-tso-500-analysis-on-ica.md)—Stream run data directly from the instrument to Platform Core via a specially configured sample sheet and automatically begin DRAGEN TSO 500 analysis.
* [Manual launch](/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/launching-analysis/analysis-launch-on-ica/manual-launch-of-dragen-tso-500-analysis-on-ica.md)—Initiate DRAGEN TSO 500 analysis on Platform Core using the run files and sample sheet files in the project.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For the data generated by NextSeq 1000/2000 and NextSeq X, only manual option for launching analysis on Platform Core is available. The analysis can only start from FASTQs files.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.tso500software.illumina.com/dragen-tso-500-guides/dragen-tso-500-v2.5/launching-analysis/analysis-launch-on-ica.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
