Sequencing was carried out in the King Lab at the University of Washington, Seattle, and by Color Genomics on an Illumina HiSeq with 2x100 bp paired-end reads (King Lab) or NextSeq with 2x150 bp paired-end reads (Color) using modified versions of the BROCA panel 1.
Color's emphasis is on providing you with the highest quality results possible. Most of your results should be ready in about a month or more after we receive your activated kit. The actual time the results take will be subject to the data associated with each unique sample.
You’ll log in to your Color account, or create one if you don’t already have one. Then we’ll ask you a few questions and confirm your contact information.
Color Discovery is a free, extra feature for our paying clients to help them engage with genetics in a new way that sparks curiosity and helps them learn more about themselves. Unlike Color’s clinical-grade tests, Color Discovery is not intended for use in making medical decisions.
