Make your genomic data research-ready, without giving up control
MyDNABank adds consent management, cohort discovery, governed access and orchestration of approved analysis to your existing infrastructure.
You retain custody. Existing governance roles and approval responsibilities stay in place.

Holding genomic data does not make it research-ready
When a research opportunity appears, your team must establish which data qualifies, whether participant permissions support the proposed purpose, how analysis will run and which outputs are permitted to leave.
Permissions are difficult to verify
Consent collected for the original test might not cover future research, recontact or commercial studies.
Cohorts are difficult to assess
Genomic files, phenotype information and clinical context often sit across separate systems and formats.
External access creates risk
Each request raises questions about identity, data residency, analysis controls, approved outputs and audit evidence.
Without a governed process, relevant research opportunities become slow, costly or too difficult to approve.
Make consent, cohorts and research access work together
MyDNABank connects participant permissions, cohort information and legitimate research requests while preserving existing custody and approval roles.
Make permissions usable
Connect genomic data with participant consent, research-use conditions, recontact preferences and revocation status.
Make cohorts discoverable
Present privacy-protected cohort information so approved researchers assess feasibility without raw-file access.
Keep access governed
Verify each request, preserve the agreed approval role and record every decision and action.
Works with genomic data held in your existing environment or within MyDNABank-managed archival storage.
Handle every research request through one governed process
Without a repeatable process, each request creates a new consent, scientific, security and approval exercise. MyDNABank coordinates the route from cohort matching to permitted output.
Connect and describe
Connect the approved environment and share cohort information without exposing identities or raw genomic files.
Match the criteria
Compare the research purpose and cohort requirements with available metadata and participant permissions.
Review and approve
Verify the research organisation, proposed use and access conditions through the agreed approval process.
Run approved analysis
Orchestrate approved analytical software inside a controlled Trusted Research Environment close to the data.
Release permitted outputs
Release reviewed results and add the request, decision and output to the audit record.
Move the software. Not the genome.
Research opportunities create work before they create value
Cohort preparation, permission reviews, participant recontact and technical support require laboratory time and resources. MyDNABank structures each opportunity around an agreed scope, approval route and commercial model.
Define your role
Agree responsibilities for cohort validation, data preparation, participant recontact, testing and access support before work begins.
Agree commercial terms
Set project fees and revenue participation according to the laboratory's contribution to each approved project.
Protect your relationships
Keep custody, participant communication and existing governance responsibilities within the agreed partnership structure.
Value comes from defined services and approved research participation, not the sale of raw genomic files.
Keep your genomic data where it belongs
Use your approved infrastructure or add long-term archival storage where needed. Both routes connect to the same consent, permission and access layer.
Connect your existing environment
Keep genomic files inside your approved infrastructure. MyDNABank connects cohort information, permissions and research-access workflows while approved analysis runs near the data.
- Established laboratory infrastructure
- Data-residency requirements
- Institutional custody restrictions
Use managed genomic storage
Place encrypted genomic files within an approved regional archive linked to the same consent, access and audit controls.
- Long-term genomic retention
- Additional archival capacity
- Predictable storage costs
From $30 per TB per year
Storage, platform services and research projects are priced separately.
Approval is not the end of governance
Research conditions must remain in force during access, analysis and output delivery. MyDNABank connects each approval with the controls applied throughout the research workflow.
Trusted Research Environment
Approved analysis without unrestricted data access. A TRE provides a controlled workspace for approved researchers to use permitted data and analytical tools. Raw genomic files remain protected. Only reviewed and permitted outputs leave the environment.
Researcher identity
Confirm the person, organisation and approved research role.
Permitted purpose
Match each request with participant permissions and institutional conditions.
Limited access
Restrict access by dataset, purpose, environment and duration.
Controlled analysis
Run approved software inside a Trusted Research Environment.
Output control
Release only results permitted under the approved project terms.
Audit record
Record requests, decisions, access events and released outputs.
DUO describes permitted data uses.
Passports communicate researcher identity and access credentials.
Beacon supports privacy-aware cohort discovery.
DRS provides standardised access to data objects within approved workflows.
Start with one cohort. Expand on your terms.
Begin with a focused deployment built around one cohort, one governance model and one approved research workflow. MyDNABank works with your team to connect the data environment, configure permissions, establish TRE access and implement output and audit controls.
First deployment includes
- One connected cohort
- Agreed consent and permission rules
- A defined approval process
- A controlled TRE workflow
- Permitted output controls
- A complete audit record
- An agreed expansion plan
