As the father of two girls (and son of a mom who had breast cancer, which she survived, but then died to brain cancer - which we were told wasn't connected) it's a drag to see I'm passing along these genes, but I'm grateful to know about it so we can better plan.
Whole-genome sequencing is the only DNA test that can read all your DNA. Old DNA tests stop at less than 0.1% — meaning you miss insights that matter.
Preorder Nucleus Premium for the most complete possible look into how your DNA shapes you.
This means our reports evolve with you. If your lifestyle factors change, or if scientists learn more about a disease, we’ll update your results.
We’re building a health platform, where DNA is the start of your health journey.
We use advanced sequencing technology to capture the unique influence of millions of DNA letters on your health, along with rare DNA differences that can have big impacts on their own.
Your DNA becomes a window into your disease risks.
Preorder Premium:
Just like you can’t understand a book from a single word, you can’t understand your health from a single gene.
Nucleus Premium is an all-in-one look at how DNA shapes your health, from the combined effect of millions of tiny DNA differences to rare variants with big impacts.

! Today, we celebrate the first complete sequence of human DNA, a milestone in the quest to understand ourselves. Our mission is to fulfill that quest.
Nucleus Premium gives you the most complete analysis of your disease risks, starting with your DNA. We answer two major questions about your health:
→ Which diseases am I at a higher risk for due to my DNA?
→ How will my risks change over time?

Your DNA is the foundation of your health — but most DNA tests can’t capture the full picture.
Unlike those tests, Nucleus analyzes nearly all your DNA, meaning more insights into your health, from ADHD and insomnia to rare conditions.
You know diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, & high cholesterol increase your heart disease risk. But what about your DNA?
With these factors + a complete read of your DNA, we uncover your individual risk so you can stay proactive.
Some DNA differences cause diseases on their own. But most diseases are influenced by factors beyond DNA.
This is why we combine the effect of millions of DNA differences with other elements — like your BMI & cholesterol — to capture your unique risks.
Your DNA is a key part of what makes you unique. But Nucleus goes beyond your DNA.
We incorporate changing factors like your age, BMI, cholesterol, and more so your insights evolve with you.
What if you could know every disease you’re at risk for — without setting foot in a doctor’s office?
…and no, it’s not a blood test. Here’s how your DNA can do that:
Scientists first sequenced an entire human DNA sequence in 2003. It was the first time we could trace the roots
Nucleus Premium is your portal to complete self-discovery.
Our clinical-grade whole-genome sequencing kit provides an analysis 1,000 times deeper than old DNA tests. That means you get more accurate insights into disease you’re at risk for, and deeper insights into who you are.
We analyzed over 1 million DNA differences to uncover

Nucleus Premium, coming this summer, will look for rare variants with big impacts that can run in families.
There are millions of tiny DNA differences that work together to shape your risk for many diseases, especially cancers.
We scan your DNA to uncover their collective impact on you, comparing your risks to people who share your ancestry.
Say hi to your common genetic score!

@nucleusgenomics
is ahead of schedule. First batch of preorders went out today — beating our summer deadline. We are here to serve you!!!!!!!!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🚀🚀🚀🚀
We are revitalizing consumer genetic analysis, giving you a more complete and accurate assessment of your genetic dispositions across a wider range of diseases and traits. We do this all while letting you maintain complete data ownership and control.
Knowing your cancer risks helps you advocate for yourself — and take proactive steps like getting a screening or visiting a specialist.
Nucleus Premium uncovers rare DNA variants for colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and gastric cancer.
Genetic insights can also help you mitigate health risks before they compound
For rare variants linked to colorectal cancer — the second most deadly cancer in the U.S. — regular screenings as early as age 20 can help catch tumors before they’re cancerous
Want a preview of our analysis? Nucleus Basic can provide new insights into your health if you’ve done a DNA test before.
Upload your DNA for a taste of our analysis, or preorder Nucleus Premium:
Our Premium analysis analyzes all of your DNA, looking for tens of thousands of rare variants old DNA tests miss –– ironically, the variants that can have the biggest impacts.
We're among the only DNA tests that provide a complete analysis of your common & rare genetic variants.
We believe communicating where scientific knowledge stands today — without sensationalism or obfuscation — will pave the way for truth and scientific progress.
The Nucleus manifesto:
So excited to ship the first batch of Nucleus Premium DNA kits today. It’s simple: Order your kit, swab your cheek, send your sample back.
We’ll give you the most complete possible look into your genetic risk for almost two dozen diseases.
Nucleus whole-genome sequencing finds tens of thousands of rare DNA differences that old tests miss.
It's the most complete possible look into your genetic risks for diseases — including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer — that's ever been
Nearly 500-word article on preventing colon cancer & NO mention of genetics. There are 13,000+ DNA variants that substantially increase your risk for colon cancer.
If you have one of these variants, starting cancer screenings early can save your life.
Freeing genetic insights that can help prevent these kinds of deaths is why we exist.
Scientists have learned a lot about the genetics of cancer — including that catching cancers early saves lives.
But that knowledge hasn’t yet benefited people.
Also, these variants aren’t always as rare as they seem. In fact, more than 2 million people in the U.S. have a DNA variant that can cause a preventable disease. Most of them don’t know it.
But what if they did know? Lives would be longer and healthier.
The Nucleus Premium prostate cancer report analyzes 22,000 rare genetic variants that can dramatically increase the risk of the disease.
We also analyze over 1 million common DNA variants that can collectively increase prostate cancer risk.
Clinical-grade insights, no barriers.
But DNA isn’t the whole story — especially for common diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. That’s why we then combine your DNA with factors like your age, BMI, cholesterol & more.
That tells you your absolute risk, or your individual chance for developing a disease.
Access the full range of scientific knowledge of how DNA shapes you and your health, now and in the future, with Nucleus Premium.

Lots of people have asked about the difference between
@Nucleusgenomics
& companies like 23andMe, Ancestry, & MyHeritage.
TL;DR: Those tests look at less than 0.1% of your DNA. The Nucleus Premium whole-genome DNA kit looks at nearly all of it.
Here’s the long answer:
→ How will my risks change over time?
We account for lifestyle factors that change your risks so you get accurate insights that evolve with you.
For example, your sex, cholesterol, blood pressure, & whether you smoke or have diabetes changes your risk for heart disease.
@ErikaWang2ndAct
@mynucleus
Yes! The number on the left is your absolute risk, or your individual chance for type 2 diabetes based on your BMI, common DNA variants, and sex.
The number on the right is the average risk a female with your BMI has for type 2 diabetes, without accounting for DNA.
Take familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that results in a 20-fold higher risk for heart disease.
The signs of the disease are so common that almost 90% of people with the disease don’t know they have it.
Risks like that are why we created Nucleus Premium.

A crucial question! Other consumer genetics companies usually look at less than 0.1% of your DNA.
Our whole-genome sequencing technology looks at nearly all your DNA for a far more complete picture of your risks.
