Please enter your full name

Please use your institutional email. Your key will be sent to that address.

Do you really need a key?


The information contained in the GATK run reports is critical in driving improvements to the GATK and we strongly discourage our users from disabling the phone-home feature. However, we recognize that some users have legitimate reasons to run the GATK with phone-home disabled. Legitimate reasons include:


  • Your local network might have restrictions in place that don't allow the GATK to access external resources, or you might need to run the GATK in a network-less environment.
  • Your organization's policies might forbid the dissemination of one or more pieces of information contained in the GATK run report.

If you fall into one of these categories, or have a special scenario that forces you to disable the phone-home feature, you can use this form to request a key. Your request will be evaluated by our team and if approved, sent to you by e-mail.
