Okay, so as usual for my posts, this isn't a deal for everyone, but only for a select few!

But for those few, I think this is a great deal! The reports they have seem pretty interesting and they add to those frequently (so I'm told). They also give you your raw data of your DNA.
Privacy policies appear to be decent as well, but obviously: Caveat emptor!

If you wait another 5 years or so, you'll almost certainly get it cheaper than this, but for now, this seems like a very good price.

    Any idea's how this compares with AncestryDNA + Traits that is around AU$105 but often can be found below AU$100 including shipping. etc

    • HojuGuy on 28/12/2022 - 00:55

      I dont know much about Nebula but from what I read, it is much more of a deep dive into your dna.

      This will have literally thousands of times as much information as those tests.
      It may not tell you any more about your ancestry though and I'm not aware that Nebula lets you find close genetic matches (relatives), so if that's what you're after, the AncestryDNA might be better for you.

      The reason that I ordered mine is that I'm interested in having my entire genome which will be extremely useful in decades to come, when medications will be tailored to your DNA. In the meantime though, it's still useful for knowing what risk factors you have, but to be honest a big part of these is also the entertainment factor.

      The difference between this and AncestryDNA is that that test will become useless outside of the very specific information it's providing, whereas the Nebula one will only need to be done once and the information contained in it will be useful for the rest of your life.

            @RubenM: For insurance, read the following:
            https://www.genetics.edu.au/SitePages/Life-insurance-product…

            Essentially, only life/TPD/income protection insurances above a certain amount can be affected. Health insurance is NOT affected. This may change again in 2024 though.

              @ymmf: That’s my concern and certainly my conspiracy theory. This is worse than personal information leak. They certainly use dna data for other things, and won’t tell people. Selling data to insurance companies? C’mon think bigger. With DNA/personal/geo/bio data, they could do anything. If data harvested reached the critical mass, targeted bio attacks even thorough grocery productions are possible. Would people be concerned if they pay to do the dna test? If yes, then that’s why they charging instead of paying.

            @RubenM: You would like to think so but i think the avoidance of cost/reduction of risk will still have shades of Gattaca occurring.

          • onlinepred on 28/12/2022 - 09:09

            @RubenM: It won’t be. Already a big deal in the US where insurance claims are rejected, or applications are rejected. Let alone life insurance.

        • chyawala on 28/12/2022 - 12:23

          If your concerned about privacy, why not order under fake details and use anonymous payment?

        the Nebula one will only need to be done once

        That’s a little bit naive. In a few years the information will largely become obsolete, because there is a lot more to DNA than primary sequence. However, this is a fun exercise for the curious, but don’t expect it to yield any meaningful medical insights

        While laboratories can sequence whole exomes and genomes, there are limitations in the technology and the interpretation of the data that may allow for a disease-causing genetic change to be missed. Additional limitations include certain kinds of genetic changes that are not easily detected through sequence based methods, including repeat expansions and structural chromosome rearrangements.

      the amount of data in comparison

      AncestryDNA 18MB text document
      X100 Whole Geonome Sequence .bam file 49GB (this can vary depending how the labs process it)

      all files recieved in my WGS from Dante Labs totaled 105GB
      these will get cheaper as higher quality reads become avaliable might need this deal to store our geonome one day

    You can use ancestry with Promethease.com for DNA markers.

      if anyone in your family or extended family (and many many more levels of extension) has taken a DNA test they almost already got you, make sure not to leave any dna at the scene, if you've already commited a crime resign yourself to your fate

      It’s a paragraph within the Google Docs, but I would highly suggest to try using Galaxy (usegalaxy.org.au) if you are fussed about using command-line or don’t have a powerful enough computer.

      Also, at least with Galaxy, you don’t have to worry about installation. Just upload your data and go! (Although uploading 90GB of data can take awhile)

    • Appleboat on 28/12/2022 - 23:59

      I scanned this quickly, does this just redo what this offer is offering but you do it yourself? What are the benefits or outputs from this? - sorry, obvious newbie here.

  • FuRyZ on 28/12/2022 - 01:44

    Excellent discount code. That's a $100 off the current holiday price for the deep level sequence with lifetime membership.

    I ended up skipping on the lifetime membership and opted for the quarterly membership (3x US$24.99) when I purchased mine during the black friday sale. Only paid US$184 using code AFFILIATE15.

    I figured I was not that interested in their reports and mostly interested in getting access to my sequence files which does not require the membership. I'll check out the reports during the initial membership term but I'll cancel at the end of the first quarter.

    • tharlow on 28/12/2022 - 03:54

      Only paid US$184

      Plus postage

        Postage is included in the price.

          If you are located outside the United States your return label will not be prepaid and you will have to pay for shipping yourself.

    I was going to do something like this. Till they said - oh and btw if we find any health defects, it will affect your health insurance.

    Nooooo thanks.

      It’s not that simple though, is it. Imagine that a person with “good genes” can get cheaper insurance. Remember those idiots saying that the unvaccinated shouldn’t have access to Medicare? What’s the difference between getting vaccinated, and submitting to a government-mandated genetic test for the purpose of preventative management of potential risks? The good news is that for the foreseeable future we’re fumbling about in the dark (see all the failed Alzheimer’s drugs, for a sobering assessment of our present capabilities).

      Having said that, the more distant future is very bright indeed

      Yup I wouldn't trust any private company to not share/reuse your DNA data at all unless it is properly anonymized.

      I would bet even the anonymised data is heavily reused to claw back profit.

      I assume you mean genetic counsellor unless your council is doing some fancy sci-fi shit. I guess if that's the case perhaps your councillor knows your DNA from looking at you but most counsellors these days will still require your sequence to provide advise.

        Hahaha yes not generic ones hahaha.

        Yes they have preferred labs that do not keep any data or disclose it to other services.

        This service interprets your data btw, which are mostly 99% fluff and inaccurate.
