Who owns your DNA?

Physical Transparency

Give your sample at the lab bench, in person. Watch the destruction through a glass wall. Every link in the chain is verifiable.

Cryptographic Verifiability

Every custom tool in our pipeline will be open source. Upstream dependencies are already auditable. Audit the code that touches your DNA.

Zero Retention

Your sample will be collected, your data handed to you, and the on-premise copies destroyed. No copies. No cloud. No exceptions.

The planned customer journey. NYC pre-launch — join the waitlist.

01

Visit 1 (~25 min)

Intake and sample collection at our NYC storefront. Saliva or buccal swab, taken at the lab bench. No mail-order kits.

02

Sequence

Between visits: ~38 hrs. 30x whole genome on Element AVITI.

03

Process

~60-90 min on GPU. Air-gapped servers. Open source pipeline.

04

Deliver

Visit 2 (4-6 business days later): ~30 min. Encrypted USB drive. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified.

05

Destroy

Witnessed through the glass wall. Each working drive cryptographically erased in under 5 seconds. NIST SP 800-88 Certificate of Destruction signed and timestamped at handoff.
