60-second decision tool

What kind of DNA test actually fits your goal?

This does not diagnose anything and it does not assume the most expensive test is best. It routes you toward the testing category that matches what you want to do.

1. What's your main goal?
2. How important is owning detailed raw data?
3. Which trade-off sounds most like you?
Why the tool sometimes routes you away from consumer testing: if your question is medically consequential, the main issue is not simply how much DNA gets read. Test selection, clinical context, interpretation and confirmation matter.
