Knome corporate headquarters in Cambridge, MA
Knome is the first personal genomics company to commercially offer complete genome (KnomeCOMPLETE™) and comprehensive gene (KnomeSELECT™) sequencing and analysis services to private individuals.

Knome, a leading personal genomics company, was founded in 2007 by George Church, Ph.D, a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. The company's goal is to provide cutting-edge genetic interpretation services for our clients in a private and secure environment. Using complete genome or comprehensive gene sequence information, we are able to produce the most complete and comprehensive analysis of trait and disease associations available on the market today. To date, Knome has been responsible for sequencing the genome of more humans than any company in the world. We have assembled a team of leading geneticists, clinicians and bioinformaticians from the Harvard and MIT communities to work with our clients. Our service is a highly personalized and interactive process - Knome scientists and physicians work closely with each client to ensure that they learn and understand what their genomes can tell them about themselves.

Knome is a privately funded company.
