What arrives

Your genome, delivered as a private archive.

The premium feel should come from what Meridian actually handles: collection, sequencing, interpretation, ownership, and privacy.

PHLEBOTOMY

Home blood draw

A trained phlebotomist collects the sample at home and handles lab delivery.

DEPTH TRACE

Whole-genome sequencing

Your genome is read end-to-end at around 25x average depth.

Private genome archive

You receive your readable report, your VCF file, and encrypted storage only you can access.

Why sequence your genome

The risks you cannot feel are already written in your DNA.

1 in 25
Indians carry thalassemia, and most never know

Your child could inherit what you cannot feel

Serious inherited conditions like thalassemia, sickle cell, cystic fibrosis and SMA pass on silently, with no symptoms and no family history in the parents.

Two healthy parents who carry the same hidden variant can face a 1 in 4 chance, every pregnancy, of a child with a serious lifelong condition. The only way to know is to test before, not after.

Know your carrier status early, so you and a genetic counsellor can plan with full information.

Informational. Confirm with a clinical test and a genetic counsellor before any decision.

60%+
lifetime breast cancer risk for many women with harmful BRCA changes, against about 13% on average

Catch hereditary cancer risk early

5 to 10% of cancers are inherited. Carry a high risk variant like BRCA and your lifetime risk can be several times the average.

Most carriers only find out after a relative is diagnosed. Knowing early means earlier and more frequent screening, which is exactly where outcomes are decided.

Find out if you carry a high risk variant, then build a screening plan with your doctor.

Risk information, not a diagnosis. Confirm with a clinical test and your doctor.

Before treatment
some medicines deserve extra genetic context before a doctor prescribes them

Bring better context to medicine decisions

Your genes can influence how a medicine works for you. The same dose can help one person and cause serious side effects in another.

For carbamazepine, a common epilepsy and nerve pain drug, specific genetics can increase the risk of severe skin reactions. That is the kind of result to confirm and discuss before treatment, not after.

Carry your results to appointments, so your doctor has more context when choosing what is safe and effective for you.

Informational. Share with your doctor. Never change medication on your own.

Stop guessing your diet and training

What actually fits your body: caffeine, carbs, endurance versus power, recovery, and sleep.

Read your wearables the right way

Your VO2 max and HRV are mostly genetic. Judge your Whoop, Oura, or Apple Health numbers against your own ceiling.

Trace your roots

Your ancestry in whole-genome depth, down to South Asian regions a chip cannot see.

Informational and for wellness, not a diagnosis. Discuss any health questions with your doctor.

Why whole-genome

Not a sample of your DNA. All of it.

Most DNA kits read a tiny, pre-chosen slice. Whole-genome sequencing reads everything, deeply enough to trust, once.

The difference you can see

Most kits buy a few co-ordinates. Meridian gives you the map.

A fixed chip can only answer the questions it was built to ask. A whole genome becomes a permanent reference that can be re-read as new research emerges.

The popular kit vs your whole genome

What a typical DNA kit cannot see.

The DNA kits most Indians buy, like MapMyGenome's Genomepatri, cost around ₹6,000 and read a tiny, fixed list of your DNA. Useful for ancestry and a few traits, but blind to most of what your genome holds. Here is what they miss, in plain terms, with conditions you may recognise.

01

The control switches that drive everyday disease

Only about 1 to 2 percent of your DNA is genes. The rest includes the switches that turn those genes on and off, and more than 9 in 10 known links between DNA and disease sit in these switches. A typical DNA kit barely reads them.

Type 2 diabetes risk · Heart disease and high cholesterol · Beta thalassemia · Inherited vision loss (Stargardt) · Crohn's and autoimmune risk

Typical DNA kitCannot see this

02

Missing or duplicated blocks of DNA

Sometimes a whole block of DNA is deleted or copied too many times. A typical kit cannot see where these begin and end, so they are usually missed.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) · Duchenne muscular dystrophy · Alpha thalassemia · About 1 in 10 BRCA cancer mutations · Charcot-Marie-Tooth

Typical DNA kitPartial, unreliable

03

Stuttering, repeating DNA

Some serious diseases are caused by a short piece of DNA repeating too many times. A typical kit cannot count the repeats, so it cannot see these at all.

Huntington's disease · Fragile X (commonest inherited intellectual disability) · Myotonic dystrophy · Friedreich's ataxia · Inherited ALS and dementia (C9orf72)

Typical DNA kitCannot see this

04

How you react to medicines

Your genes change how a drug works for you. Some medicines do nothing for you, some are dangerous at a normal dose. A typical kit checks a few spots and can get the single most important gene flat wrong.

Codeine and painkillers (CYP2D6) · Carbamazepine skin reaction, commoner in Indians (HLA-B*15:02) · Clopidogrel blood thinner (CYP2C19) · Chemotherapy toxicity (DPYD) · Statin muscle damage (SLCO1B1)

Typical DNA kitPartial, unreliable

05

Silent carrier risk for your children

Two healthy parents can each silently carry the same variant, with a 1 in 4 chance of an affected child every pregnancy. A typical kit checks only a short fixed list, so a rare or hidden variant slips through.

Cystic fibrosis · Thalassemia and sickle cell · Spinal muscular atrophy · Tay-Sachs · Many rare metabolic disorders

Typical DNA kitPartial, unreliable

06

Diseases passed down your mother's line

A separate tiny genome lives inside your cells' batteries and is passed down only from your mother. A typical kit does not read it.

Sudden inherited vision loss (LHON) · MELAS (stroke-like episodes) · Mitochondrial diabetes and deafness

Typical DNA kitCannot see this

Even a clinical exome test, which reads only the gene regions, misses most of the above. Informational, and not a diagnostic test. Anything flagged is a starting point to confirm with a clinical test and discuss with your doctor or a genetic counsellor.

What Meridian gives you

Your complete genome, a clear report of what it says, and re-reading for life as the science grows.

Meridian
My Whoop VO2 max climbed to 49 this month. Training or genes?
Likely both. You carry a favorable variant in PPARGC1A, the gene behind your muscles' aerobic engine. People with your version respond strongly to endurance work, so a jump like this fits your genome. Want to push it higher?
Yeah. What should I focus on?
Lean into Zone 2 base work, plus one interval day a week. Your variant rewards steady aerobic volume over all-out sprints, so consistent mileage pays off most for you.
Re-read for life

Sequence once. Learn from it forever.

Genomic science moves fast. Your genome does not change, so every new discovery is a new thing you can learn from data you already own. We re-read it as the science grows.

2026
Your genome is sequenced once, at around 25x average depth, and your first report arrives.
2027
New findings are added to your report as the research grows. No new sample.
2028+
A part of your genome once unexplained now has meaning, and we tell you.
Privacy and safety

Your genome is yours. Only you can access your genetic data, not even Meridian. It can never be sold.

Your genetic data is encrypted with keys only you hold. When you dig deeper, the assistant reads it on your device, never on our servers. Your sequence data is deleted by default 30 days after your file is delivered, and the lab destroys your sample within 30 days.
