Storing
Keeping genetic data on Sequencing costs nothing and has no size cap. Files stay encrypted, remain yours, and are never sold on to anyone else.

The team of bioinformaticians, Genetic Health Coaches, and writers at Sequencing.
About Sequencing Team
The Sequencing team is made up of physicians, bioinformaticians, Genetic Health Coaches, and health writers who create and review the content published on Sequencing. The team draws on backgrounds in medical genetics, personalized preventive medicine, and genetic health coaching to make sure every article reflects current science and gives readers something they can act on.
This byline is used for articles written collaboratively across the team, or when content does not have a single named author. Every article carries the same standard of review regardless of byline.

Downloading Results
Reports that include a PDF save from the Results page via the download icon. Bioinformatics app files and Next-Gen Disease Screen PDFs qualify; other results do not.
Security & Encryption
Card payments run through Stripe at PCI Service Provider Level 1, card numbers stay stored with Stripe, and the site forces HTTPS alongside HSTS and DNSSEC.
Can I access and download my raw DNA data?
Yes! Your Sequencing account allows you to download your raw DNA data and your reports at any time.
Can I delete my data?
Any file in a Sequencing account can be permanently deleted from the Files tab, including DNA data and genetic reports. Deleted files cannot be recovered.
Can I upload DNA data or genome sequencing data that I already have?
Yes! Our wide-range of DNA analysis apps and reports can be used with almost all DNA tests and genome sequencing services. For example, you can upload and use your DNA from…
Can I upload my raw DNA data from Sequencing to third-party sites such as online genealogy and family tree services?
VCF is the format most outside genealogy, health and research tools accept, while FASTQ suits research-level work and BAM is available on request.
Is there a genetic test for chimerism?
FYI regarding chimerism - it is extremely, extremely rare. So rare that it’s more likely a person would win the lottery twice than actually have chimerism. Chimerism, when it does…
