Our method has three stages: we analyse your DNA, turn it into meaningful traits, then BASIL turns those into a clear, personal plan.

Three simple steps

From a saliva sample to what to do today.

1
Analyse

We decode your DNA

You provide a non-invasive saliva sample. We analyse it at an ISO-accredited lab, reading 650,000+ variants once, with gold-standard accuracy.

2
Model traits

We turn variants into traits

We combine SNP data (small variations in your DNA) with your lifestyle and blood results, to place you in the band that reflects your personal biology, across 180+ physiological traits.

BASIL shows you what to do

BASIL reads your traits and ranks the daily habits, foods and supplements that matter most for your longevity, re-prioritised as your age, blood, and lifestyle data update.

Let's go deeper into how we decode your biology.

Step 1 · Collect

One non-invasive saliva sample.

No needles, no clinic — provide it at home in minutes. We extract the cheek cells in your saliva, and you never need to retest.

Step 2 · Decode

650,000+ variants, gold-standard array.

ISO 17025-accredited lab analysis on the Illumina Infinium™ array, reading 650,000+ variants at 99.9% reproducibility.

Step 3 · Analyse

From raw variants to meaningful traits.

Single, additive and polygenic SNP models turn your variants into traits, using GWAS data (large studies linking genes to traits) and quality-checked for accuracy.

Step 4 · Contextualise

Your genes aren't the whole story.

Your reports also factor in lifestyle, biometrics and blood test results, where available, so they reflect your health as it is now, not just your DNA.

Step 5 · Understand

Placed in the band that fits you.

Across 180+ reports, the algorithm assigns you to the band that fits, updating as you age, change weight or log new blood results.

Step 6 · Act

BASIL turns it into what to do today.

BASIL ranks the daily habits that matter most for your longevity, so you always know your most valuable next action, re-prioritised as your biology changes.

Always up to date

As the science moves, so does your plan.

Your DNA doesn't change, but the research behind it does. As new studies are published and validated, we add new reports, refresh the evidence behind existing ones, and give you updated recommendations, at no extra cost.
