During sequencing and analysis, a VCF file is generated. You can access your raw data by signing in to your patient dashboard.
Once signed in, navigate to Results, then select Download Raw Data.
Important Notes About the File Type:
Your raw data is provided in a file called a .vcf file. This file contains annotated variant information and typically cannot be opened with standard computer software, which is likely why your computer may not open it. Viewing a VCF file requires tools commonly used by genetic researchers, such as a text editor or genome browser software like the Broad Institute’s IGV.
We recommend sending the file to your geneticist or another physician who can properly review and interpret the information.
Please note that running your raw data through third-party services carries a risk of incorrect reinterpretation. We strongly recommend that you fully understand the process and potential limitations before choosing to do so.
