FAQs

What is Nucleus Embryo?

add

Nucleus Embryo is genetic optimization software designed for couples undergoing IVF. Parents can analyze, compare, and select their embryos based on up to nearly 1,000 genetic predictions, including health conditions, physical traits, and personality indicators.

Am I eligible for Nucleus Embryo?

add

If you’re undergoing IVF, you can request your embryos' DNA data from your clinic. Once uploaded to Nucleus, we'll analyze each embryo’s genetic profile and present clear, personalized insights into everything from disease risks to physical traits.

Get started by scheduling a virtual call with our team. We'll help answer any questions you might have about Nucleus Embryo and determine if you’re a good fit.

Planning on doing IVF soon? Consider finding a clinic that uses LifeView by our partner Genomic Prediction. LifeView customers are eligible for Nucleus Embryo.

What's included?

add

Nucleus Embryo provides insights into a wide range of genetic analyses, including:

  • Appearance and traits: Eye color, height, hair color, male-pattern baldness, severe acne

  • Body and physical health: BMI, chronic pain, left-handedness, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis

  • Women’s health: Endometriosis, PCOS

  • Nutrition and metabolic conditions: Alcohol dependence, celiac disease, type 2 diabetes

  • Heart health: Coronary artery disease, hypertension

  • Cancers: Breast cancer, male breast cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer

  • Neurological and mental health: ADHD, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, insomnia, migraine, multiple sclerosis, OCD, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, intelligence

  • Other conditions: Asthma, age-related macular degeneration, restless legs syndrome, seasonal allergies

  • Hereditary disorders: 900+ hereditary diseases, including rare conditions like cystic fibrosis and hemochromatosis if a whole-genome file is uploaded

Why use Nucleus Embryo?

add

Most fertility clinics only screen for viability and a limited set of rare genetic diseases. Nucleus Embryo goes far beyond that, offering comprehensive insights about your embryos’ future health and traits. Unlike clinical reports, our interface is designed specifically for future parents: intuitive, clear, and emotionally supportive.

Is this scientifically credible?

add

Yes. Our analysis is based on validated, peer-reviewed research and built on the latest genetic technology. The science is rigorous, and the experience is human: designed with care, transparency, and responsibility.

Is this gene editing?

add

No, embryo selection and gene editing are not the same thing.

When undergoing IVF, couples typically have several viable embryos to choose from.

Nucleus Embryo provides information on the disease risks and traits of each of these embryos, helping parents make an informed choice on which embryo they want to implant.

Can Nucleus design my baby?

add

DNA is not destiny.

Genetics can be a helpful tool for choosing an embryo, but it’s not a guarantee. Genetic research is still in it’s infancy, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about how DNA shapes who we are.

A higher genetic risk doesn't mean an embryo will certainly develop a condition later in life, just as a lower risk doesn't mean they won’t.

Besides genetics, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and other factors also significantly influence a person’s chance of developing a condition and who they are.
