Reviewing a genetic test is an exciting journey from
the sampling process through the long waiting period until the interpretation
of the results. As I have a background in clinical genomics, I get overly

several times already. I documented my experiences with Navigenics, Pathway Genomics, My Gentle Labs, Futura Genetics, and I also got my whole genome sequenced. In addition, I collected a list of reliable direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic
testing companies
and gave advice on which genetic testing kit to choose.
Thus, I was delighted when Atlas Biomed contacted
me and offered me two tests: a genetic and a gut microbiome test. The London-based
company, established in 2016, uses technology from Illumina for molecular analysis and conducts the genetic
testing in a Dutch laboratory. On the Atlas
Biomed website,
the team promises such a...
