Data storage

Sequencing gives laboratories free, unlimited, and HIPAA compliant storage for the genetic data they generate, along with the tools your clients need to access and use that data. This section explains what the platform provides to laboratories and their clients, and links to the details for each topic.

What does Sequencing provide to your clients?

Beyond storage, your clients can put the genetic data you generate to use.

• Partner Marketplace: Your clients can turn the genetic data you generate into actionable insight using apps and reports from the Partner Marketplace.
• Ownership: Your clients own their genetic data and control what happens to it.

How is the data stored and protected?

Genetic data is held on a secure, HIPAA compliant platform with privacy built in.

• HIPAA compliant data storage: Free, unlimited storage for the genetic data your laboratory generates.
• Security: The safeguards that protect stored data.
• Confidentiality: How data is kept private under Sequencing's privacy standards.

How do you and your clients work with the files?

The platform supports the formats laboratories produce and gives clients full access to their files.

• Formats: The range of supported genetic data file formats.
• Storing: How files are organized and held in an account.
• Accessing: How clients reach and work with their stored files.
• Downloading: How clients download their genetic data files and results at any time.
• Datasets: Reference information on dataset attributes such as population and sex.

How do laboratories upload data?

Laboratories can upload genetic data files individually or in bulk. Batch uploads let your laboratory move large numbers of files efficiently. For the full process, see Uploading data and batch uploads.
