NEWThe Complete Baseline
Everyone else sells a snapshot. We build you a baseline.
Forever Labs will map your entire genome and methylation markers today, using your stored biological sample in our lab, and then run future tests to show you how your body is changing.
The Complete Baseline ($2,495 value) is included in every Forever Labs Lifetime Storage Plan.
Methylation, same run
Epigenetic marks read from the same DNA
Base by base
Methyl tags read at each CpG
Long reads, in-house
Span regions short reads miss
30× depth
Every base read about 30 times
- 30×
- every part of your genome, read 30 times over
- Long-read
- the most powerful sequencing method available
- 1 sample
- your DNA and aging markers, read together
- In-house
- tested in our own lab, never sent out
The paired sample
Learn how your body is aging, now and in the future.
What other companies do
Testing companies can only measure you as you are on the day they receive your sample.
What Forever Labs does
We keep your original sample. Years from now, as aging clocks and other tests become more powerful, we can run two tests: one on your “future self,” and another on the cells you stored today with Forever Labs.
- 1Same tissueAging markers look different in blood than in skin or stem cells, even in the same person. So we compare blood with blood, and cells with cells.
- 2Same runWe test your stored sample again alongside the new one, so differences in equipment and chemistry over the years cancel out.
- 3Same methodWhen better ways to measure aging arrive, both samples are tested the new way, so your comparison keeps improving.
1 · Today
Store and read
Your sample is stored and your Complete Baseline recorded.
2 · First follow-up
Paired run
A new draw is tested beside a vial of your original.
3 · Every run after
Same original
Each new sample is compared back to the same stored one.
4 · Over time
A clearer trend
Each comparison adds to the record of how your rate of aging is changing.
Stored stem cells with us? We can run the Baseline on your stem cells anytime. If you want to track your aging markers in the future, add a blood or fibroblast baseline now. Every future draw is then compared to its own tissue type.

Some results you can use now. Others build value over time.
Your genetic results are useful right away. Your aging markers become more useful every time we compare them with a later sample.

Your data
A record that can be read again
We keep your raw data, so better methods can analyze it again without using more of your sample.
What you can doAsk new questions as the science advances.
Beyond your report
Your data can keep answering new questions.
Your report covers what you can act on now. Because we keep your full genome and aging markers on file, we can run more analyses later, with no new sample.
- 1
Runs on your data
Genetic risk scores
How thousands of small genetic differences add up to your risk for conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
- 2
Runs on your data
Rare variant search
A deeper look for rare genetic changes. It can be repeated as medical knowledge grows, or if you or a relative develop an unexplained condition.
- 3
Runs on your data
Nutrition genetics
Genes linked to how you process things like caffeine, folate, and lactose. The science is stronger for some than others, and your report says which.
- 4
Runs on your data
Immune type (HLA)
The immune genes used to match organ and stem cell donors. They also affect some drug reactions.
- 5
Runs on your data
Ancestry and lineage
Your ancestral origins, plus your maternal and paternal lineages, read from your full genome.
- 6
Only with our technology
Which parent's gene is active
For some genes, only the copy from your mother or your father is switched on. Because we read your DNA and its markers together, we can see which. Standard tests can't.

As science advances
Future aging measures
New ways to measure biological aging can be applied to your data and your stored sample, so today's baseline works with tomorrow's tools.
How add-ons work
These analyses aren't part of the standard report. We'll offer them separately as they launch. Any result that could affect your care is reviewed by a physician and confirmed with clinical testing.
From results to action
What happens after your results are ready.
A physician walks you through what your results mean and what to do next.
Step 1
Your report
Findings are grouped by what they mean for you, written in plain language, with the technical detail available for your doctor.
Your completion month
Step 2
Physician review
A physician goes through the results with you, explains what matters and what doesn't, and answers your questions.
After delivery
Step 3
Your next steps
Medication notes to share with your doctor and pharmacist, follow-up clinical testing if anything calls for it, and screening or family conversations where relevant.
With your own doctor
Step 4
Measure again
A later sample is tested alongside your stored one, so you can see how you're changing.
When you choose
Why it's different
Most DNA tests read part of your genome once. We read all of it and keep the record.
One strand, two layers
One long strand of your DNA carries both your genetic code and your aging markers
- Genetic code
- Aging markers
Same stretch of DNA, three ways to read it
Only long reads cover a large change from end to end
The same stretch of DNA read three ways. A consumer kit checks a few scattered positions and skips the large change. A standard genome test reads short pieces that break apart at the change. Complete Baseline reads long continuous stretches that span it, with aging markers on the same reads.

For common risk scores and standard carrier screening, a standard genome test is often enough. Our approach matters most for the large DNA changes other tests miss, for reading your aging markers without a second test, and for keeping a record that can be analyzed again later.
Where your run comes from
From cells already in the vault, or from a simple blood draw.

You are here
Before you reserve
No. The Complete Baseline is a member analysis service reviewed by a physician. It isn't a diagnostic test. If your report shows something that could affect your care, your physician can order clinical-grade confirmatory testing before any medical decision is made.
Reserve the run. Keep the younger you on file.
The Complete Baseline is a wellness record reviewed by a board-certified physician partner. It is not a diagnosis.
