Data Sharing

Collaborators are expected to provide high­ quality, appropriately consented DNA samples from patients and family members. The consent form signed by subjects must include language regarding secondary use, data sharing, and deposition into controlled access databases. Matchmaker Exchange The...

Sequencing

Accepted samples are sequenced at the Broad’s Genomics Platform. After sequencing and processing completes, our project management team will send a notification and reminder to enter in phenotype information. This will be a required step before data can be loaded onto our seqr platform. Once data is...

Benefits to collaborators

The Center will provide exome and/or whole­ genome sequencing at no cost to the collaborator for affected cases and relatives. This centralized service will offer high­ quality sequencing and analysis at the Broad Institute, incorporating discovery of all classes of variation (including copy number...

Data Access

All sequencing data produced by the Broad Institute will be made available to collaborators on request. The CMG will make the following data accessible: Array data Acess to array data (if generated for your samples) will be granted via Aspera. Sample BAMs VCF file containing all samples in cohort...

Disease area of focus

Retinal Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are characterized by progressive dysfunction and death of rod and cone photoreceptor cells, leading to vision loss, and are one of the most genetically diverse groups of inherited disorders. Identifying the genetic cause of patients’ IRD has become...

Phenotype Submission

You will be provided a login for our secure online analysis portal, seqr. Each individual sequenced will have a phenotype record within seqr, and for each affected individual, it is required to be filled in by the collaborator before sequencing data can be loaded onto seqr. We use the Human...
