Informational reports
Reports provide genetic information and are not a medical diagnosis.
Whole-genome sequencing with Illumina NovaSeq
Eligens uses Illumina NovaSeq for whole-genome sequencing. The resulting dataset supports common- and rare-variant analysis and downloadable raw files. Exact coverage and depth metrics are not stated without a documented quality-control definition.

Sequencing technology and research context
Illumina NovaSeq X is currently the reference short-read platform for large-scale genomics, used by leading laboratories for research and clinical whole-genome sequencing. Its analytical performance has been extensively validated against the NIST Genome in a Bottle benchmark and in independent comparative studies, consistently showing precision and recall above 99.8% for single-nucleotide variant detection. The sources below describe this technology and do not evaluate or endorse this consumer product.

Genome data deserves strong privacy protection
Encrypted in transit & at rest
Genetic data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Protected infrastructure in Germany
Genetic data is stored on protected AWS and Google infrastructure in Germany.
GDPR processing · genetic data not sold
Processing follows GDPR. Personal genetic data is not sold.
Sample destroyed after QC
After quality control, biological material is permanently destroyed. It is not used for future research or transferred to third parties.
Eligens reports describe genetic predispositions and probabilities. They are not a diagnosis. The absence of identified risk variants may reduce the estimated genetic risk but does not eliminate the possibility of developing a condition. Health is also influenced by age, lifestyle, environment, family history and many other factors.
One test, a lifetime of discoveries
“I wanted one DNA test I would not outgrow. The app made a huge amount of genome data feel understandable.”
“Having my raw FASTQ and VCF files means I can revisit my genome as science advances. Exactly what I hoped for.”
“Detailed report package and a smooth process overall — the depth is impressive.”
Questions about Whole Genome
Do you ship the DNA test kit?
Yes. The at-home saliva kit ships internationally. Delivery options and the final total are shown at checkout.
Are reports available in English?
Yes. Reports in the Eligens app are available in English. They are informational and are not a diagnosis.
What do I receive with Whole Genome?
Eligens uses Illumina NovaSeq for whole-genome sequencing. The product includes report modules, rare-variant and carrier-status insights, and downloadable FASTQ, BAM and VCF files.
Is Eligens a medical diagnosis?
No. Eligens reports provide genetic information, probabilities and educational insights. They are not a diagnosis, treatment plan or replacement for professional medical care. Potentially important findings may require specialist consultation and clinical confirmation.
Does a low genetic risk mean I cannot develop the condition?
No. A lower genetic risk or the absence of identified risk variants does not rule out the possibility of developing a condition. Lifestyle, environment, age, family history and other factors also matter.
What happens to my saliva sample?
After the generated sequencing data passes quality control, the remaining biological material is permanently destroyed. It cannot be used for future research, transferred to third parties or analyzed again.
Where is my genome stored, and who can access it?
Genetic data is encrypted in transit and at rest and stored on protected AWS and Google infrastructure in Germany. Processing follows GDPR. Personal genetic data is not sold.
