We’ve come a long way. In fact, it took over ten years, more than 20 labs and about $3 billion to sequence the first human genome. But the story of genetics starts long before that.

This is the Era of the Genome

Previously, the genome was something only a few scientists could access.
Today, People can get valuable and useful insights based on their genetic data.

But not all genetic tests are the same.
