The initial cost for Helix to sequence the most important part of your genome, known as the exome, is $80.
Understanding the Helix Offering
Helix provides a service that allows individuals to learn about specific aspects of their genome. For an initial investment, you gain access to a comprehensive genetic profile.
- Initial Sequencing Cost: The base cost for the Helix service is $80.
- What's Included: This fee covers the sequencing of your exome, which is the protein-coding region of your genome. The exome comprises approximately 20,000 genes along with other significant genetic segments.
- Purpose: This initial sequencing provides the foundational genetic data. With this data, individuals gain the flexibility to then choose specific insights or applications they wish to explore, effectively personalizing their genetic learning journey based on their sequenced exome.
