Why Genome Storage Will Be as Common as Cloud Storage

In 2003, sequencing the first human genome cost roughly $2.7 billion. Today, you can do it for under $200. This dramatic cost reduction has created a new challenge: where do you keep your genomic data safely and affordably?

The storage gap

Most genetic testing services give you only a fraction of your genomic data. The full genome contains vastly more information that becomes more valuable as science advances. New discoveries about genetic predispositions happen regularly. Having your complete genome stored means you benefit from these discoveries without being re-tested.

ReadyGenome: our approach

We built ReadyGenome as a genome vault — secure, encrypted storage for complete genetic data. Human genomes at $199, pet genomes at $149, with 3 years of free storage included. The pricing makes genome storage routine, not luxury.

The long-term play

We believe genome storage will eventually be as common as cloud file storage. As sequencing costs fall and the value of data increases, demand for secure storage will grow proportionally.
