I am here to share my Nebula Genomics experience! I was excited to become a Nebula Genomics affiliate because they offer Whole Genome Sequencing DNA tests that decode all 6.4 billion DNA base pairs in the human genome! According to their site, the first whole genome sequencing ever done cost over $3 billion dollars, but today they have made the 30x Whole-Genome Sequencing service accessible for a price under $300. Whole-Genome Sequencing reads out over 6,000,000,000 positions on your genome, and then every letter of the DNA is read an average of 30 times! You can see why this is the gold standard for genetic testing. Unlike many other DNA testing companies, Nebula Genomics gives you total control and ownership of your data.
When I had the opportunity to purchase a Nebula Genomics DNA Test at a discount, I jumped at the chance. Nebula Genomics has all sorts of things to recommend it. First, there is the fact that it uses advanced and comprehensive 30x Whole-Genome Sequencing. Second, all genomic big data is available for download (so you own your data). Third, Nebula Genomics allows for deep genetic maternal and paternal ancestry. Fourth, Nebula Genomics offers Genome Exploration Tools, such as over 200 DNA reports, that help users understand the latest genomics, health, and wellness research as well as how it applies personally. That is a big draw for me, because since I’m not a geneticist, I could use some assistance putting together a bigger picture with real-world implications from the minutiae.
The collection process was simple, painless, and well explained, and the collection kit comes with a pre-labeled return envelope complete with postage. I have sent my kit off and am awaiting the results. I am eager to see what I can learn about myself and what positive changes this knowledge may help to inspire!
