Individuals and Families

This section of the Knowledge Center shows individuals and families how to get lasting value from their DNA at Sequencing. We securely store your genetic data and give you tools to turn it into personalized health insights, drawing on 100% of your DNA and over 30,000 genes. Whether you already have genetic data or are starting from scratch, you can use it here.

How do individuals and families use Sequencing?

Your genetic data is stored securely in your account, then analyzed by the reports and apps you choose in the Partner Marketplace. Each one reads the relevant parts of your DNA to deliver insights on a specific topic, from wellness and nutrition to your genetic predisposition for certain health conditions. Families can analyze each member's data individually to understand the health information each person carries.

How is my genetic data protected?

Protecting your data is central to how Sequencing works. Your genetic data is stored with strong security measures and kept confidential, because it is some of the most personal information you have. You control your data and decide which reports and apps can access it.

I am new to genetic testing. How do I start?

If you have not been sequenced yet, you can order a DNA test to get started. Once your results are ready, they load directly into your Sequencing account where you can begin running reports.

I already have genetic data. Can I use it?

Yes. If you have data from a previous test, you can import it and put it to work. Sequencing is compatible with data from a wide range of sources, including:

Clinical and diagnostic labs such as LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics
Advanced testing providers such as Illumina, Invitae, and Counsyl
Consumer services such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, FamilyTreeDNA, and Nebula Genomics
Research studies and healthcare provider tests
