United States | 14 February 2021It took a few weeks more to get my results but after contacting them, they worked it out for me. I have bought or used multiple different DNA tests and this one is the best so far. It checks your whole genome and not just a fraction. You would think such a test would be $50,000 since AncestryDNA, LivingDNA, MyHeritage, and the dubious 23andMe are sold for $100 and don't even examine a half of a percentage of your DNA. Nope, I got this test for less then $500. Plus, I got the Nebula report with it as well which is another Whole Genome Test. Two for the price of one. This is truly amazing.

United States | 31 January 2021I wrote this as a reply in Reddit and pasted it here. It covers my experience with other companies as well which puts the positive comments I have about Sequencing.com in context . I went with Nebula labs for 30x Whole Genome Sequencing for $299 over the cheaper providers like Dante (who had a $100 genome black Friday deal). Nebula provided me with 6 files total for 30x WGS (2 FASTQ, CRAM, CRAI, VCF, TBI). Each file format is different and there is quite a lot to learn beginning cold, but their tutorials are good and most service providers are working out file conversion issues behind the scenes and improving their services rapidly. In my case, I had old Ancetry.com data that I'd run through Promethease long ago. That gave me about 13k SNPs. With my new 100% WGS data on hand, I wished to give Promethease another try since it has 110,000+ SNPs, My old Ancestry data only picked up 13kof them, I was hoping my WGS data report would provide far more, upwards of 50k+ to 90k SNPs. But what file(s) to upload? Did I need to convert them? I heard others having similar problem uploadings their VCF files to Promethease. Some on REddit said to use the Clinvar convesion of the VCF. Others said to use the cram file. Yet another suggested the EvePremium app on Sequencing.com but in the wrong/nonoptimal way. And the app costs $19 per use. Eventually I received support directly from Sequencing.com and they were extremely helpful. Their EvePremium app can convert among most file types and could handle the Nebula 2 FASTQ files conversion into a single gVCF file that I needed for Prometease. Seqencing.com (Hannah) was terrific as patiently explained how to do this. My initial attempts failed due to a technical problem. They issued refunds for the failed attempts. They were responsive, intelligent, forthright, and and had their techs correct an internal error with my file / their code and kept me updated on the process. Alas, my final output gVCF was successful and increased my SNP reads from Promethease from 13k to only *wahwah* 16k. Not the 90k I was hoping for. Disappointing, but this was no fault of Sequencing.com. Apparently this may be a general problem with Promethease as they do not seem to be staying up to date and moving forward in pace with other companies since being bought by Heritage. They never responded to my support requests. Nebula Genomics I am very happy with. Their support and services are top tier as well. I get the sense they are maxed out and expanding quickly, so answers to my service ticket requests were generally timely and brief yet fair and sufficient. Nebula has a great whole genome browser freeware called IGV that is worth learning. They maintain a blog with constantly expanding library of study-backed personalized interpretations of your genome, an option for 100x, and more. I am glad to upgrade to a lifetime membership. Sequencing.com had a number of interesting apps for interpretation of medical health aspects. They are pay al a carte, which can become very expensive, but they are kind and run coupons often. I am 1 month into this and those are my experiences thus far. There are other services popping up. I was not impressed with GenoPalate.com as they were not prepared to read my Nebula data formats at all. Furthermore Sequencing.com has an app that provides similar information for a reasonable price. My take so far is Personal WGS is a exploding field on the precipice of great clinical and personal practical value, but not quite there yet on the consumer level. It takes learning curve and frustration getting involved in it now, but that will change rapidly in a few short years I believe. In some ways this personal WGS field is in a growth stage similar to personal computers back in the pioneering 80s days of Apple and IBM before major players Like Gates and Jobs emerged and dominated the market largely by thinking ahead and creating UI / UX for the masses. I look forward to witnessing the evolution.

United States | 22 December 2020A honest company to do business with. That is hard to come by in these days.

United States | 16 December 2020Love all these products! I've used about 8 to date! One note, when an app is listed as "Included in Membership", that means you have slots left to run apps. It does not mean that app is free. I wasted slots running the same app twice before I figured this out.

Rachel Neylin
Ireland | 12 December 2020Maybe I was unlucky, but I found the website unclear as to what you were paying for, limited in user guidance and since I had the DNA test I have been bombarded with marketing emails. If you have a complex family history this may work for you, but you will pay and pay and pay at every step. I feel like I've been suckered and am cancelling my membership. (Update to my review) I wanted to update my review in light of the very good customer care provided by the Support Team after I wrote the above. Sequencing.com have made a huge effort to put right my complaints and I feel they have helped enormously. I did feel justified in complaining, but to be equally fair, they have done all they can to improve the service I received. Thank you

Romania | 25 October 2020Their Free Blood Type Analysis Using Your DNA doesn't work, always return error!?! Their customer service said it would look into it, over a month now, still no response after multiple tickets. Edit: they contacted me and explained that there are some issues with my files and they will try to sort it out.

United Kingdom | 21 October 2020I find sequencing. Com exceptional in their customer service, they even zoom with you to help you out..... I've had to learn a lot from scratch and they have been super helpful. I use my dante data but sequencings files provide so much info.... Genome explorer, genome overview and input analysis have been an insight that's like winning the lottery health wise..... And proved quickly correct by supplements and avoidance correct vitamins, amino etc...... When you are disabled with so many different symptoms you want to do everything you can to help yourself..... So knowing things like your body doesn't turn carnitine into retinol, why your body treats iron like poison and that you have genetic intolerances is absolutely invaluable. It makes you understand why you have traits and symptoms of the diseases you are pathogenic for..... Honestly..... I think this information has given me a future to look fwd to.

CJ
United States | 21 June 2020Paid for my genome to be sequenced. Was simple process and they did terrific job. Learn new information about my self with the reports I now receive every month. Favorite is wellness reports. I ordered additional genome testing from sequencing for my daughter’s family and my two sisters. One thing they can do better is to warn us if their website is going to undergo maintenance because I tried to access a report the other night but could not for an hour because they were updating the website and I could not sign in during the update. Not such a big deal but would be nice to receive warning ahead of time.

United States | 15 June 2020Sequencing's whole genome sequencing test delivered as promised by the company. Received my genome in 6 weeks. Detected i carry sveral diseases i didn't know about. Found this company to be trustworthy.

United States | 31 January 2020Update November 2020: I continue to use sequencing several times a week primarily for the genome explorer app. Got my genome data into sequencing.com by using the import from lab they have so it was easy. Nice to not have to download the genome files because of their size and just import from lab into my account. have used their health apps and pleased with extensive info i got. Tried several other sites like prometheus but amount of info is very small compared to sequencing. Very happy with them.
