Claritas Genomics releases raw data files to health care providers

Original ordering providers
Original ordering providers who desire their patient’s raw data should use the requisition form when ordering testing on the patient at Claritas Genomics. Providers may also contact our Client Services team at [email protected] to provide written documentation of their request for raw data.

Raw Data file types: BAM, VCF, and QC metrics.

  • Claritas does not provide additional support beyond file transfer. If providers desire additional assistance, contact our Client Services team to discuss charges for this consultation service.
  • See below for more information about VCF and BAM file requests.

Interactive variant browsing via NextCODE platform: trial access for 3 months.

  • Trainings are available through NextCODE. Claritas does not provide additional support beyond account set-up and file transfer.
  • In order to authorize access to patient files to collaborators, ordering providers must use the Data Release Authorization Form: NextCODE Access form.

Requests from providers who are not the original ordering provider
If a provider who did not originally order the testing on the patient desires patient raw data, these providers must use the Data Release Authorization Form: Raw Data form to obtain patient authorization. If a Trio (patient + mother + father) was performed, all individuals must give authorization, as the patient’s data cannot be separated from the parents.
