Company Summary
DNAsimple allows patients or anyone to contribute to scientific studies and provides a much-needed service for genomics labs - the opportunity to order DNA samples from any demographic. Donors sign up on our database and we collect their health history; researchers bring their population requirements to us and we make the match and deliver the DNA samples, all for half the cost of creating and managing an in-house genomic sample bank.
