Genomics test comparison

Which DNA test answers your question?

Genomics tests fall into a few categories. Each measures something different. Here is how they compare, and where AgeCode Premier fits as the starting point of Signal-Based Medicine.

Ancestry DNA kits

Consumer ancestry and trait tests

What is measured: Genotyping array
Inherited predisposition: Yes
Current epigenetic pattern: Not typical
Clinician review: Not typical
Connected to ongoing diagnostics: Not typical
What you receive: Ancestry and traits

Wellness genomics panels

Nutrition, hormone and detox gene reports

What is measured: Selected gene variants
Inherited predisposition: Yes
Current epigenetic pattern: Not typical
Clinician review: Not typical
Connected to ongoing diagnostics: Not typical
What you receive: Educational report

Epigenetic age clocks

Saliva or blood methylation age tests

What is measured: DNA methylation
Inherited predisposition: Not typical
Current epigenetic pattern: Yes
Clinician review: Not typical
Connected to ongoing diagnostics: Not typical
What you receive: Biological age number

Clinical genetic tests

Physician-ordered disease-risk panels

What is measured: Targeted sequencing
Inherited predisposition: Yes

This compares test categories, not individual brands; products within each category vary. Tests support, and do not replace, care from a qualified clinician.

What is the difference between a genetic test and an epigenetic test?

A genetic test reads the DNA sequence you inherited, which does not change. An epigenetic test measures chemical marks such as DNA methylation that shift with age, environment and lifestyle, showing how your biology is currently expressing itself.

Why combine genetics and methylation in one test?

Genetics shows predisposition; methylation shows current pattern. Together they help a clinician separate what you were born with from what is changing now, which supports more specific next steps.

Does a genomics test replace blood work?

No. Genomic and epigenetic tests add a longer-term lens. At Kure they are one starting point inside Signal-Based Medicine, alongside labs, KureBioMap, KureBiome and KureSync monitoring.
