Yes, we provide high quality sequencing data, as an accredited laboratory, that could support various research projects. The results shall only be used for research and are not applicable for patient diagnostics.

If you are interested in conducting a research project with us, please reach out to your local sales representative or Support at support@blueprintgenetics.com. They will provide you with a Research Set-Up Form document where you can define the scope and specifications of the project. We will send you the quote for the service based on this information.

Yes, our company offers raw data delivery for research projects. The requested sequencing data is delivered through a secure shared folder, to which a link will be provided for you. The delivery of the requested sequencing data is provided in batches (1 or more), which is dependent on the sample volume and project timeline. The sequencing data will be kept available for download for 30 days.

We offer a variety of raw data formats listed below. Please review the list and be mindful about the file content and size before ordering it:

• VCF (Variant Call Format) is a standard file format storing a list of sequence variants and their genomic positions, no CNV variants. The VCF file does not contain detailed annotations of the variants such as the gene name or population frequency of the variant.
• BAM (Binary sequence Alignment Map) is a standard file format that contains sequence reads mapped to the human reference genome, including base quality and mapping quality scores.
• FASTQ files (sequenced reads) contain unaligned sequence reads with base quality scores.
