KnomeSELECT™ is the first comprehensive gene sequencing and analysis service available to consumers. As part of the KnomeSELECT service, we capture and sequence the 20,000 genes in the human genome – the parts of the genome that contain the blueprint for making proteins - bringing the retail cost of gene sequencing and analysis to under $1.00 per gene.
Priced at $24,500 for individuals, or $19,500 per person for couples and families, the KnomeSELECT™ service includes:
- Capturing and sequencing the 20,000 genes in your genome and providing a customized analyses of your genes
- Our proprietary KnomeXplorer gene browser software to navigate and explore your genetic information
- Two years of our update service allowing you to follow cutting-edge genetics research
- A digital copy of your 20,000 genes on our secure GenomeKey
- A genome-wide scan to identify changes associated with common diseases
- Personalized GeneReview reports that describe the genetic basis of specific traits or conditions, and map the known gene-to-disease associations onto your personal DNA sequence
- A private, in-person roundtable discussion held at the Harvard Club of Boston with Knome’s team of world-leading geneticists, clinicians and bioinformaticians to review your sequence data, present the results of your analysis, discuss the role of genetic variation in the development of disease and highlight the latest research and discoveries.
A family-based analysis allows us to track gene-specific inheritance patterns, identify shared traits and explore common ancestry between related individuals. In certain cases, a comparative analysis between healthy and affected individuals within a family can lead to the identification of implicated disease genes, which could help further advance scientific understanding of a specific condition.
Comprehensive gene mapping of families could also enable the detection of new mutations that have not been inherited but rather have arisen spontaneously in an individual.
Family-based genomics could also benefit young couples by identifying potential disease genes that might be carried by healthy individuals but that could be passed down to future generations.
