Access Harmonized Clinical and Genomic Data

Harmonized clinical and genomic data allow for convenient cross-analysis and comparison.


Clinical data, including demographics, diagnosis and treatment information, are standardized across hundreds of distinct properties.


State-of-the-art bioinformatics workflows are employed to align sequencing reads, ranging from whole genome to single-cell RNA, and generate high-level derived data.
