Problem
Consumers often lack accessible, detailed information about their genetic ancestry, health predispositions, and personalized lifestyle recommendations, making it difficult to make informed decisions about wellness and family planning.
Solution
Eligens offers a direct-to-consumer DNA testing service that ships saliva collection kits worldwide. Users provide a sample at home, which is sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform, analyzing approximately 3 billion nucleotides for high-resolution results. The platform delivers comprehensive reports covering ethnic composition across 500+ global populations, up to ten generations of family lineage, ancient migration routes, and Neanderthal variant counts. In addition, health modules provide nutrigenomic, pharmacogenomic, disease risk, and trait insights, accompanied by physician‑reviewed recommendations for prevention and lifestyle optimization. All results are securely stored in a personal online account, accessible for download and future reference.
Target Audience
Individuals seeking detailed genetic ancestry and health insights, as well as consumers interested in personalized wellness guidance and family planning information.
