At a glance
You already have 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or a WGS VCF (from any provider — including Nucleus itself) and want two-parent preconception outputs at one-tenth the price.
You do not have any DNA data yet and want whole genome sequencing bundled with the report, and the ~$399 price is acceptable for one person.

Feature comparison
Side-by-side on the things that actually change what the product does for you.
| Feature | Genomisaur | Nucleus Genomics | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base test you need | None — uses existing 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or WGS VCF | Nucleus WGS (included) or bring your own VCF | |
| Whole genome sequencing | Supported via VCF upload (+$20) | Included in the test | |
| Preconception focus (two-parent analysis) | Yes — 100 simulated offspring genomes from both parents | Single-person report; couples buy two | |
| Polygenic risk scores included | 71 PRS across 14 categories | Broad PRS coverage; exact count varies | |
| Carrier screening | Cystic fibrosis, sickle cell, Tay-Sachs, SMA, and more | Extensive carrier screening panel | |
| Turnaround time | ~20 min (individual), ~2 hours (family) | Weeks (includes lab sequencing) | |
| Price (one-time) | $99 Family Full | $399 Nucleus Preview | |
| Data ownership & portability | You bring your own file; delete any time | Your data sits in Nucleus; portability depends on their policies |
What each one does well
Genomisaur
- $99 for both parents' preconception analysis — one-tenth the per-person Nucleus Preview price
- 100 simulated offspring genomes — distributions of traits, disease risk, and carrier outcomes
- Works with data you already paid for once (23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or any WGS VCF)
- Results in ~2 hours, no lab work in the loop
- You can delete your data at any time from your profile
Nucleus Genomics
- Whole genome sequencing is included in the price
- Better-known brand in the consumer-WGS category
- Polished single-person report UI
For most couples planning a family who already have some genetic data, the Genomisaur Family Full Report at $99 covers what Nucleus Preview covers — polygenic risk, carrier screening, trait prediction — plus a two-parent 100-offspring simulation Nucleus does not offer. If you do not yet have any DNA data and want WGS bundled in, Nucleus Preview is the simpler one-stop purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Is Genomisaur a cheaper alternative to Nucleus Preview?
Yes — the Genomisaur Family Full Report is $99 one-time versus Nucleus Preview's listed $399. The difference is that Nucleus includes whole genome sequencing and Genomisaur assumes you already have genetic data (or can upload a VCF from any provider, including Nucleus, for +$20).
Can I upload my Nucleus Genomics data to Genomisaur?
Yes. Nucleus exports a VCF of your whole genome sequence. Upload it to Genomisaur and we compute all of our polygenic risk scores, trait predictions, and preconception analyses on top of it.
Do I need whole genome sequencing for a preconception report?
No. Consumer SNP arrays from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage cover enough well-studied variants to produce meaningful polygenic risk scores and carrier screening results. WGS is a nice-to-have for rare-variant resolution, not a requirement.
Which one should I buy?
If you do not have any genetic data yet and want a WGS-backed report, Nucleus Preview is the most comparable product at ~$399. If you (or either parent) already have 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, or a VCF from any sequencing provider, Genomisaur's Family Full Report gives you preconception-specific outputs — 100 simulated offspring, carrier screening, PRS — at $99.
How does two-parent simulation work?
We model meiosis computationally: each simulated offspring inherits one chromosome copy from each parent, with crossover events shuffled in. Running 100 of those simulations gives you a distribution — "72 of 100 children had brown eyes, 20 hazel, 8 blue" — instead of a single deterministic guess.
Is this medical advice?
No. Both Nucleus Preview and Genomisaur are informational reports, not diagnostic tools. Carrier and risk results should be reviewed with a qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor 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.
