Your whole genome,
read by a lab.

Why a whole genome

• Read, not estimated.

  A consumer chip measures selected positions, and the common variants it didn’t measure are estimated from a reference panel. A whole genome is read directly.

• Whole genes, not single spots.

  No chip reads a whole gene. Sequencing covers nearly all of each gene, including the stretches a chip never looks at.

• Your files, yours to keep.

  FASTQ, BAM and VCF: about 90 Gb of data or more from a PCR-free library, in the standard formats genetics tools read.

• Tested once.

  Your genome doesn’t change. We keep the file so your report can be rebuilt when our methods improve.

A DNA file or your whole genome

What you get

• A saliva collection kit, posted to you
• Your whole genome sequenced by a laboratory in Europe
• Your data files: FASTQ, BAM and VCF
• An Indaga report built from your genome

How it works

1. 01

   You order.

   You sign in to Indaga and pay. Until your kit is posted, you can cancel for a full refund.

2. 02

   We post you a saliva kit.

   Within 5 business days of your payment. We email you first to ask for your shipping address.

3. 03

   You give a saliva sample.

   You follow the kit’s instructions and post your sample back.

4. 04

   A laboratory in Europe reads your whole genome.

5. 05

   You get your Indaga report and your data files.

What it is not

• Indaga provides longevity and wellness information, not medical advice or a diagnosis. Its insights are designed to be reviewed with a qualified clinician.
• It includes no screen for rare disease variants.
• Never start, stop or change a medicine because of your DNA. Ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Your data

Hosted in the Netherlands, encrypted on disk

We hold your record in a store of its own, on our server in the Netherlands (EU), encrypted on disk. There is no separate key per person, and we say so. You choose whether to connect an AI. Never sold, never used to train AI.

To delete it, use “Withdraw consent and delete my DNA data” on your dashboard at app.indaga.ai, or email support@indaga.ai; we delete within 30 days.

Questions and answers

How is whole-genome sequencing different from a DNA chip test?

A DNA chip test reads selected positions, hundreds of thousands of them, and the rest is estimated from a reference panel or not read at all. Whole-genome sequencing reads your DNA itself: about three billion letters, nearly every gene from end to end.

How deep is the sequencing?

Standard: about 90 Gb of data (about 30x raw). Deep: about 120 Gb (about 40x raw). “Raw” counts every base the sequencer reads; “after mapping” counts only the reads placed on your genome, the ones your report is read from. Depth after mapping is lower and varies with the sample. Every depth is sequenced from a PCR-free library. A deeper option means larger FASTQ and BAM files to download. A few regions of every genome can’t be read reliably this way, and your report marks them instead of guessing.

Do I get my raw data?

Yes. Your data files are yours: FASTQ, BAM and VCF, the standard formats genetics tools read, so you can take them to another service or a researcher.

How long does it take?

We post your kit within 5 business days of your payment. We don’t promise a date for your report yet: it depends on the laboratory.

Who can see my genome?

The laboratory in Europe that sequences your sample, and Indaga. Your record is held on our server in the Netherlands (EU); it is never sold and never used to train AI. Indaga doesn’t match you with relatives or compare your genome with other people’s. When you connect an AI, its provider handles what it reads under its own terms.

Will my report change over time?

Your genome doesn’t change, but what science can read from it does. We keep the file so your report can be rebuilt when our methods improve.

Can Indaga read a whole-genome file I already have?

Yes. If a lab has already sequenced your genome, we read the file it gave you: a VCF or gVCF, or the raw files (FASTQ, BAM or CRAM). The report from your whole-genome file
