Whole Genome Sequencing in As Little As Three Weeks

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 is the fastest whole genome sequencing service on the market. When you choose the Ultra Rapid option, you’ll receive your results within three weeks of the lab receviving your sample. This is significantly faster than the industry standard processing speed of 10 to 12 weeks.
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 you with the same quality assurance Sequencing is known for, which includes:
- Purifying and testing of 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.
