Ultra Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing in 2 to 3 Weeks
Short answer: Sequencing's Ultra Rapid whole genome sequencing returns your results within 2 to 3 weeks of the lab receiving your sample. Standard takes about 7 to 8 weeks and Expedited about 4 to 6 weeks, and all three use the same 30x clinical grade technology.
Ultra Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing Won’t Leave You Waiting
Waiting for genetic test results can be nerve wracking. If you are dealing with a health issue that may have genetic implications or you suspect that you may have a genetic disease, it is especially difficult. The sooner you can access your own genome, the quicker you can gain insights to optimize your strategies for the best health and wellness outcomes.
Sequencing’s Ultra Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing returns your results within 2 to 3 weeks of the lab receiving your sample. Our Standard service takes about 7 to 8 weeks and Expedited about 4 to 6 weeks. See how Standard, Expedited and Ultra Rapid differ.
Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
The usual method of direct-to-consumer whole genome sequencing takes so long because it relies on shipping samples between multiple labs and batch processing of tests to keep the cost affordable. Sequencing’s Ultra Rapid turnaround cuts out the downtime.
With Ultra Rapid turnaround, DNA samples go through the extraction and sequencing process one-at-a-time. In addition, next-generation sequencer technology and a highly optimized workflow move each sample quickly through preparation, sequencing, and analysis.
Although the Ultra Rapid whole genome sequencing service is faster, it still provides the same quality assurance Sequencing is known for, which includes:
- Purifying and testing your DNA to ensure it is of sufficient quantity and quality.
- Ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the sequencing through numerous quality-control checkpoints throughout the process.
- Validating your raw DNA data after it is generated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ultra Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing
How fast is Ultra Rapid whole genome sequencing?
Sequencing's Ultra Rapid service returns results within 2 to 3 weeks of the lab receiving your sample. Standard takes about 7 to 8 weeks and Expedited about 4 to 6 weeks.
Why do standard whole genome sequencing services take longer?
Many direct to consumer services ship samples between several labs and process tests in batches to keep costs low. With Ultra Rapid, each sample goes through extraction and sequencing one at a time.
Is Ultra Rapid less accurate because it is faster?
No. All of Sequencing's whole genome sequencing options use the same 30x clinical grade technology, and Ultra Rapid keeps the same quality checks, including DNA purification and testing, quality control checkpoints and validation of your raw data.
Can Sequencing deliver results in less than 2 weeks?
No. Whole genome sequencing needs time for sequencing, quality checks and data analysis, so even Ultra Rapid cannot deliver results in less than 2 weeks.
