Simple Process

How It Works

From order to insights in three easy steps. Everything is handled for you.

Step 1

Order Your Kit

We ship a buccal (cheek) swab collection kit directly to your door. No blood draw needed.

Step 2

Send It Back

Provide your saliva sample and mail it back with the prepaid return label. That's it.

Step 3

Get Your Results

Receive your personalized results and download your complete raw sequencing data.

What you'll learn

Insights across core prevention areas

Start with 9 DNA-based health insights across core health areas. Ancestry is included too, as an added benefit.

Heart + circulation

Coronary artery disease Cholesterol Atrial fibrillation

Metabolic + kidney

Type 2 diabetes Obesity / BMI Chronic kidney disease

Cancer predisposition

Breast Colorectal Prostate

This is just the start: more insights and traits are coming soon.

Your DNA baseline becomes even more useful when paired with labs, wearables, and the health data you already track.

The Difference

Sequencing vs. Genotyping

Most consumer tests use microarray chips that read only a tiny fraction of your DNA. We sequence it.

Gencove

Low-Pass Whole Genome Sequencing

  • Reads your whole genome, not just selected markers
  • Supports reanalysis as science evolves
  • Performs well across genetic backgrounds
Traditional Tests

Microarray Genotyping

  • Reads only selected markers on the chip
  • May require a new test as science evolves
  • Can perform differently across genetic backgrounds

FAQ

Questions, answered clearly

Is this a diagnostic test?

No. This product is educational and informational only. It is not a diagnostic test, and results should not be used to diagnose, treat, or manage any health condition. Results do not replace clinical testing, medical evaluation, or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

What is a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS)?

A Polygenic Risk Score summarizes the combined effect of many genetic variants — often thousands or millions — across your genome that are associated with a particular trait or condition. Rather than looking at a single gene, PRS captures the cumulative influence of common, small-effect variants identified in large genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Your score places you on a risk spectrum relative to the general population.

Where does Gencove ship?

We currently ship within the United States. International availability is planned for the future — check our website for updates.

How long does it take to receive results?

Results are typically available 3-4 weeks after your sample is received at our lab. You will receive an email notification when your report is ready to view in your secure account. Please keep in mind that results may take 4-6 weeks if the sample quality is low. Our lab will make two attempts to process each swab before we reach out to you for a new collection.

How do I prepare before collecting my sample?

Wait at least one hour after eating, drinking anything other than water, smoking, chewing tobacco, or using any tobacco or herbal products before swabbing. Immediately before swabbing, rinse your mouth thoroughly with plain water — this is the single most effective step for a high-quality collection, as it significantly reduces non-human DNA (e.g. bacterial content) on the swab. Do not brush your teeth or use mouthwash immediately before swabbing, as this reduces the number of cheek cells collected.

Who owns my genetic data?

You do. Your genetic data belongs to you. You are empowered to download your data and/or delete your data at any time. We do not claim ownership of your data.

Who is Gencove?

Gencove is a genomics company founded by scientists and engineers with deep expertise in population genetics, bioinformatics, and sequencing technology. Our technology is trusted by research institutions including Stanford and Oxford, as well as pharmaceutical partners like GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim. Our direct to consumer product brings the same sequencing infrastructure — previously available only in research and enterprise settings — directly to consumers.
