    I skimmed their website and it doesn't seem like they're promising any sort of confidentiality. Maybe there's something buried in their privacy policy, but you'd think that privacy would be a pretty big selling point?

        Nanopore sequencing fidelity was garbage back in 2021. Not sure what it is now.

          slightly better, but still best for long read capability, not fidelity

            Would we be able to improve that with multiple runs? eg. 2 our of 3? (Or, ie. are the errors systematic?)

  Nebula might be worth checking out, I've heard it's pretty good but I have not personally used it. https://nebula.org/whole-genome-sequencing-dna-test/ https://nebula.org/whole-genome-sequencing-dna-test/

    They don't say much about data privacy.
