Donors sign up on our website.
Researchers request any number of samples from any conditions, backgrounds or mutations.
Donors get a notification every time they match a researcher's request.
We ship a saliva kit for donors to provide samples
Once donors return kits, we give $50 to them (or charity of their choice)
DNA donations equal faster cures
Thousands of studies are delayed or canceled due to lack of donors every year. That means treatments and cures for diseases remain undiscovered. Your donation can help to double the pace of genetic research, saving or improving millions of lives.
