CentoCloud® – Our New Bioinformatics SaaS Platform
CentoCloud is a software designed for human genetic laboratories to support the execution of high-standard Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) diagnostics remotely.
Analyze, interpret, and report genomic variants with our decentralized diagnostic solution – no matter where you are located
CentoCloud is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform specifically designed for the rapid bioinformatic analysis and interpretation of Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) data based on CENTOGENE’s proprietary Biodatabank and external reference databases. It allows for the identification, prioritization, and classification of human genetic variants associated with genetic diseases/inherited diseases.
The fully automated bioinformatics pipeline analyzes NGS data based on CENTOGENE's validated testing products provided by Twist Bioscience.
Powered by an end-to-end workflow with best-in-class bioinformatics as well as CENTOGENE's medical reporting service, CentoCloud encompasses the latest diagnostic insights – allowing you to provide state-of-the-art individualized patient care.

CentoCloud Workflow
1. Fully-Automated Bioinformatics Solution
Highly automated bioinformatics pipeline to accelerate diagnostic timelines:
- Accepts raw sequencing data from Illumina sequencing technology in FASTQ format
- Alignment to genomic reference sequence
- Variant calling, copy number analysis, and annotation with public databases
2. Biodatabank Annotation
Provide filtered variant list with annotation from our proprietary Biodatabank (genotype–phenotype database for rare diseases)
- > 650,000 individuals, > 400,000 biosamples from > 120 countries
- > 2,500 rare diseases diagnosed
- > 31,000,000 unique variants
The Highest Quality Bioinformatics & Variant Annotation
Our fully automated, curated, bioinformatic analysis, and variant pre-classification is based on ACMG guidelines1. Additionally, AI-based genomic variant prioritization empowers you to provide your patients with accurate and timely answers.
The bioinformatics platform is also one of the world’s few CE marked IVD software for genomic diagnostics that is available via the cloud.
State-of-the-Art Interpretation
The CentoCloud platform and associated services from CENTOGENE facilitate the same high quality and diagnostic accuracy as we offer in our own certified state-of-the-art labs.

CentoCloud-Associated Service Provides Medical Diagnosis & High-Quality Reporting
Drawing on more than 15 years of rare and neurodegenerative disease diagnostic experience and streamlined processes, CentoCloud enables high quality and accurate diagnostics like CENTOGENE’s offers in its own certified state-of-the-art labs. Generating medical reports of diagnostic analyses is resource intensive – requiring an extensive amount of bioinformatic, and clinical genetic expertise, a sizeable databank of patient samples, and a streamlined recording system.
Our comprehensive medical reports contain extensive, expert interpretation of clinical data and include differential diagnostic approaches as well as detailed interpretation of key findings.
To find out more about our medical reporting of diagnostic findings, please visit our medical reporting page.
Our Experts Provide Their Medical Diagnosis & Report That Includes:
- Comprehensive curation of clinical evidence & medical interpretation by medical experts
- Clear diagnostic statements
- Classification of identified variants following best practice international guidelines (CMGS/ACMG)
- References to relevant publications to support our conclusions
- Access to all documentation including variant lists, copy number lists, and diagnostic gap analysis
- Recommendations for follow-up analyses by our board-certified human genetic experts
