CLARITY challenge

http://www.childrenshospital.org/research-and-innovation/research-initiatives/clarity-challenge



 An international effort towards developing standards for best practices in analysis, interpretation and reporting of clinical genome sequencing results in the CLARITY Challenge

The CLARITY Challenge provides a comprehensive assessment of current practices for using genome sequencing to diagnose and report genetic diseases. There is remarkable convergence in bioinformatic techniques, but medical interpretation and reporting are areas that require further development by many groups.

The CLARITY Challenge (Children’s Leadership Award for the Reliable Interpretation and appropriate Transmission of Your genomic information) is a contest initiated by Boston Children’s Hospital. Its goal is to identify best methods and practices for the analysis, interpretation and reporting of individuals’ DNA sequence data, to provide the most meaningful results to clinicians, patients and families.
