Nucleus Genomics vs Genomisaur
Nucleus Genomics bundles whole genome sequencing with 20+ polygenic scores and hundreds of conditions for $399 plus an annual membership. Genomisaur runs 71 polygenic risk scores against the DNA file you already have for $49 one-time. Here's how they actually compare.
At a glance
You already have 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or a WGS VCF, and want clinical-grade polygenic risk scores fast and for less than $50 — no new kit, no subscription.
You do not have any DNA data yet, want true 30× whole genome sequencing you can re-analyze forever, and are fine with a ~6-week turnaround and a recurring membership.

What each one does well
Genomisaur
- $49 one-time vs $399 + $39/yr — no subscription treadmill
- Works with 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or any WGS VCF (including a Nucleus VCF)
- 71 peer-reviewed PRS across 14 categories with per-score performance metrics
- ~20 minute turnaround instead of ~6 weeks
- Your report is yours — download PDF, delete your data, no lock-in
Nucleus Genomics
- Whole genome sequencing is included — useful if you have no DNA data yet
- Hundreds of single-gene conditions on top of PRS
- Polished consumer app with a longevity-focused frame
If you already have consumer DNA data (roughly 20 million Americans do), Genomisaur is the faster and cheaper path to polygenic risk scores — 71 of them for $49, no subscription. If you have no DNA data and specifically want WGS in the box, Nucleus Genomics is a more complete one-stop purchase at $399 + $39/yr; you can also buy Nucleus, download the VCF, and layer Genomisaur on top for $69.
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload Nucleus Genomics data to Genomisaur?
Yes. Nucleus exports a VCF of your whole genome. Upload it to Genomisaur (+$20 for WGS processing) and we compute all 71 of our polygenic risk scores, trait predictions, and every other analysis on top.
Does Nucleus accept 23andMe or AncestryDNA uploads?
No. As of 2026, Nucleus Genomics only works with their own WGS data or compatible VCF uploads. If your existing data is a 23andMe or AncestryDNA genotype file, Genomisaur is the direct path to a PRS report from it.
How much does Nucleus Genomics actually cost over time?
$399 for the kit plus $39 per year to keep viewing and re-running reports. Over 3 years that is 477 USD. Genomisaur's Full Health Report is $49 one-time; optional auto-update subscription is $20/yr.
Does Genomisaur replace whole genome sequencing?
No. WGS resolves rare variants and structural changes that consumer SNP arrays cannot. Genomisaur is designed for high-utility polygenic risk + trait analysis from whatever genotype data you have. If you need rare-variant WGS, get sequenced and upload the VCF to us.
Is any of this a replacement for medical advice?
No. Both Nucleus and Genomisaur deliver informational consumer reports and should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider before making medical decisions.
Informational, not diagnostic
Consumer preconception reports — ours, Nucleus Genomics's, and others — are informational. Carrier and polygenic risk results should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor before making medical or reproductive decisions.
