Atlas Baseline.
Sequenced once. Yours to read for the rest of your life.
Atlas Baseline sequences your full genome at 30x coverage in our Berlin lab and hands you the complete data set: FASTQ, CRAM, VCF and a QC report, in open standard formats. No subscription, no lock-in. Have it analysed whenever you decide, with Atlas Delphi or anywhere else.
A reference you build on.
You inherit your genome once.
Sequencing it gives you a permanent reference — one file, in open standard formats, that stays valid as science moves on. No subscription, no vendor lock-in, and never a reason to sequence again.
Interpretation is its own layer.
Variant-by-variant analysis against ClinVar, PharmGKB and current literature is not part of Atlas Baseline. Atlas Delphi will offer it as a separate service, and your Baseline file is what it reads.
A physician closes the loop.
Reading a genome for medical purposes is a genetic investigation under German law and belongs with a physician. That applies to the interpretation layer — not to your data, which you hold and move freely.
Three steps to your genome file.
Order online.
You consent to sequencing and to the processing of your genetic data. No medical intake, no referral, no waiting for an appointment.
At-home sample collection.
Home collection kit ships to your door. Painless, two-minute collection, prepaid return shipping.
Receive your data.
FASTQ, CRAM aligned to GRCh38, VCF and a QC report, over an encrypted download. Open standard formats, yours to keep and to move. 4–6 weeks after your sample reaches the lab.
Included in the price.
- Clinical-grade 30x whole genome sequencing
- FASTQ — the raw sequencing reads
- CRAM aligned to GRCh38, with index
- VCF — your called variants
- QC report: coverage, depth and quality metrics
- Encrypted download; open standard formats, yours to keep
- AI-assisted variant interpretation (ClinVar, PharmGKB, literature)

- Clinician-readable summary (PDF, shareable)
- Pre-test genetic counseling, bookable on its own
Interpreting a genome for medical purposes is a genetic investigation under the German Genetic Diagnostics Act (GenDG) and is provided under medical responsibility. It is not part of Atlas Baseline and not covered by its price.
Specification
| Technical specification | |
|---|---|
| Method | Whole genome sequencing: all 3.2 billion base pairs, coding and non-coding regions |
| Mean coverage | 30x |
| Library preparation | PCR-free |
| Read length | 2 x 150 bp, paired-end |
| Sequencing output | approx. 120 Gb |
| Reference genome | GRCh38 |
| Sequencing | In Germany; samples and data stay exclusively within the EU |

| Process | |
| Order | Online, with consent under Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR to sequencing and data processing; 18 or older, located in the EU or UK |
| Kit shipping | Collection kit to the address at checkout, delivered within 5–7 business days in the EU and UK, shipping included in the price |
| Sample collection | At home, painless, two minutes; prepaid return shipping |
| Included in the price | Collection kit, outbound and return shipping, and DNA extraction in the lab |
| Turnaround | 4–6 weeks after the sample arrives at the lab |
| Origin and legal framework | |
| Provider | Atlas Life Sciences GmbH, Aroser Allee 68, 13407 Berlin, Germany; managing director Alessandro Markus; Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg, HRB 279006 |
| Shipping area | EU and UK |
| Legal framework | Sequencing and data delivery, not a genetic investigation for medical purposes; no physician involved. Diagnostic or predictive use of the data requires a physician under the German Genetic Diagnostics Act (GenDG). |
| Use of data | Genetic data is never sold. No disclosure to insurers or employers (Section 4 GenDG). No use for research without explicit consent; the order is not tied to any research consent. |
| Price | One-time payment, end price including 19% German VAT; no subscription |
One price. The complete data set.
One-time payment. 30x whole genome sequencing, the complete data set — FASTQ, CRAM, VCF, QC report — and permanent access to your files. No subscription. No interpretation, no findings report, no medical recommendation.
The analysis is a separate service.
Reading a genome for medical purposes — a findings report, pharmacogenomics, screening recommendations — is a genetic investigation under the German Genetic Diagnostics Act and may only be provided under medical responsibility. It is not part of Atlas Baseline. Atlas Delphi will offer it as a separate, physician-led service that reads the Baseline file you already own.
Not yet available.
Registering your interest is non-binding. It is not a booking, not an order, and no appointment is reserved. We write to you once the service opens.
Grounded in clinical infrastructure.
Atlas Baseline is sequenced and processed through laboratory partners. The reporting frameworks of the separate interpretation layer are developed in consultation with practicing physicians.
