What Veritas Genetics does
Veritas Genetics was a pioneer in affordable whole genome sequencing, offering clinical-grade WGS with physician-ordered testing and genetic counseling. They've pivoted toward clinical and enterprise genomics rather than direct-to-consumer services. Availability varies by region.
Key features
- Clinical-grade whole genome sequencing
- Physician-ordered testing with genetic counseling
- Comprehensive variant analysis across the full genome
- Clinical reporting standards
- Enterprise genomics solutions
Health analysis: how they differ
Veritas has shifted away from direct-to-consumer accessibility. Their services typically require a physician's order and are priced significantly higher than consumer interpretation services. Availability has been inconsistent, with the company pausing consumer services in some markets.
Your DNA Unlocked takes a different approach: transparent clinical databases (ClinVar with 341,000+ classified variants, PharmGKB for drug-gene interactions), detailed pharmacogenomics (CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP1A2), methylation pathway analysis (MTHFR, COMT, MTRR), and a structured health protocol with specific recommendations.
The bottom line
Veritas offers clinical-grade whole genome sequencing for those who need medical-grade testing. Your DNA Unlocked works with existing consumer raw data to provide comprehensive health interpretation without needing a new clinical test.
Who should use which
Choose Veritas Genetics if:
- You want clinical-grade whole genome sequencing
- You have physician involvement in your genetic testing
- You need medical-grade results for clinical decision-making
Choose Your DNA Unlocked if:
- You already have raw DNA data and want deep health analysis
- You want detailed pharmacogenomics (how your genes affect medication response)
- You want comprehensive disease risk screening against ClinVar
- You want an actionable health protocol with supplement, diet, and monitoring guidance
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Veritas Genetics to use Your DNA Unlocked?
No. Your DNA Unlocked accepts raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and other major testing companies. You need a raw data file from some provider, but it doesn't have to be Veritas Genetics.
Can I use both?
In many cases, yes. If Veritas Genetics generates raw data you can download, you can upload it to Your DNA Unlocked for additional health analysis. The services can complement each other.
What if I already have data from a different company?
Your DNA Unlocked works with raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and other major providers. You don't need to switch to or buy from Veritas Genetics.
