About Microarray

DNA microarrays can be used in clinical diagnostic tests for some diseases. Microarray tests still tend to be more affordable than sequencing, so they can be used for very large studies, as well as for some clinical tests.

At Gene by Gene we use a custom version of the Illumina Global Screening Array (GSA data) that generates data for over 730000 SNPs.

This allows us to generate results for our: 

  • Genealogy tests such as Family Tree DNA 
  • Nutrigenomic tests for our partners as well as powering the myDNA Wellness app, the Practitioner Comprehensive Health Report

This service is available to produce both reports and raw data for our partners. 

Generated data can be curated depending on our partners specific requirements. We are able to offer guaranteed calls for a preapproved, prespecified list of SNPs upon request.

We have an extensive number of SNPs on our current Microarray. To get a list of these SNPs please contact us to understand your requirements.

Sample Requirements

Gene by Gene will provide buccal (cheek) swab kits with each order.

Each test requires two buccal swabs which are included in each kit. This is the preferred sample collection method.

Gene By Gene will provide return packaging and a pre-paid shipping label.
* Shipping fees may apply to orders outside the United States.

If necessary, Gene by Gene can accept most DNA sample types, including:

  • Extracted DNA: 20ul of 50ng/ul, OD260/OD280 ~ 1.8, include details of extraction method with samples
  • Blood: 3-5cc drawn in EDTA (purple-top) tube
  • Shipping: For all buccal and non-buccal sample types, ship at room temperature in an insulated container. DO NOT HEAT OR FREEZE SAMPLE
