Whole Genome Sequencing
100% DNA Analyzed
Whole genome sequencing involves sequencing the entire DNA of an individual. This means analyzing all 3 billion base pairs of the human genome to enable scientists, researchers and clinicians to decode 100% of an individual's DNA, providing an unprecedented level of knowledge about our genes and our health.
Traditionally, genetic tests were limited to examining specific genes or regions of the genome. Even to this day, some companies offer analysis of exonic regions of DNA, which correspond to just 5% of the entire genetic makeup. WGS, on the other hand, analyzes 100% of the DNA and thus provides a complete view of an individual's genetic code. It involves reading the entire sequence of nucleotides (A, T, C, and G) in an individual's DNA, enabling us to identify variations and other genetic markers in any region of the genome.
WGS analysis can be useful for your all-around health. In fact, thanks to the analysis of your entire genome, you can learn about all aspects of your health: from your predisposition to hereditary diseases to the right workout for you, to the diet that best suits your DNA and your overall well-being.
With the information from the WGS, you will be able to make key decisions for your well-being tailored to your genome, which is unique and therefore requires analysis to know it in depth. In addition, your genome remains the same throughout your lifetime so it is a once-in-a-lifetime investment.
With genome analysis, you can know your predisposition to many diseases thanks to the panels provided by Dante Labs that cover your entire health. There are more than 150 panels and they provide you with important information about predisposition to neurological, cardiovascular, cancer, metabolic, and many other diseases that give you a complete picture of your health.
Family planning is a pivotal phase for couples, where understanding genetic risks plays a crucial role. Through genome testing of both parents, couples can gain insight into potential genetic variations, mutations, or abnormalities linked to inherited diseases.
In the field of newborn screening, accuracy and speed are critical. Traditional newborn screening tests have been the gold standard for decades, but they focus on a limited number of conditions, often provide false negatives, and waiting times are very long.
WGS testing, on the other hand, is comprehensive, and allows for accurate and timely diagnosis and individualized treatment based on the child's genetic code, which allows for better results and reduced side effects.
So, whether you already have a disease or predisposition and want to know more or whether you are healthy but want to take care of your daily health, the WGS is the only test that can provide you with all this information through quick and painless sample collection and with an analysis that happens quickly.
Our advanced sequencing technology and expert analysis enable individuals to access their genetic information with precision and accuracy. With a strong commitment to data privacy and ethical practices, we empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
Because of its comprehensiveness, our WGS is highly accurate in identifying genetic variants, mutations, and other relevant genetic information. This accuracy makes it extremely useful for diagnosing inherited genetic conditions or assessing the risk of developing them in the future.
