Dante Labs
Dante Labs appears out of business as of Sep 2024. The staff has all been laid off. The founders are trying to
22
resurrect as Dante Omics and still taking online orders. Thousands of existing orders yet to be sequenced.

26
RAWThe microarray RAW format files (e.g. 23andMe API or similar) with over 1 million values. Use DNA Kit Studio to make smaller.

*Nebula no longer bills extra for a first year subscription and has a higher base price as a result.
Sequencing gives first 1 mth subscription free but $39/mth after billed yearly.
Both auto enroll and renew. So you must cancel to avoid further billing.
If Nebula cannot bill the first payment, you do not get your results when ready.

**
Throughout 2023 and 2024, the delivery times have varied widely. Some over 12 months late and still counting
30
***Regular is $399, Expedited / Advanced (6-8weeks) is $599, Professional Expedited (2-3 weeks) w/ 3 mth subscription is $999. Often bundle regular (comprehensive) with expedited for $399.

****Roughly Aug 2023-Aug 2024 Dante USA orders were fulfilled by FamilyTreeDNA in Houston on their Illumina
Novaseq 6000 sequencer. Roughly Spring 2024 onwards, Sequencing.com USA orders are fulfilled by FTDNA
in Houston. Initially on an Illumina Novaseq 6000; now an MGI DNB T7. As of Spring 2024, Nebula has their own
in-house MGI DNB T10 in a new NJ lab instead of sending to the BGI lab in China.
YSEQ has their own DNB400 but also does bulk runs on a T7v2 in a lab in Riga, Latvia.
