We make it work for researchers
doing the work.


User-Centric Digital Engagement Platform

Our platform provides your research participants with a user-friendly experience that can help lead to faster and higher rates of recruitment. Color supports enrollment and e-consent of participants for both clinical and research purposes. We also enable longitudinal participant engagement and data collection, while providing return of clinical, genetic results, access to genetic counselors and clinical pharmacists, and information and recommendations tailored to their health and risks.

Advanced Bioinformatics and Machine Learning Tools

We can process millions of variants to surface genomic — phenotypic associations at a very high speed and develop advanced genomics algorithms, such as polygenic scores, that can be used in research applications.

Distribute genetic test kits

You can choose to have genetic test kits shipped directly to your study participants’ homes (for US-based studies only) or participants can provide their sample through in-office collection kits. Each kit comes with all of the sample collection and return shipping materials.

Color Results Clinical Follow-Up

Send back genetic test kits

Once a sample has been collected, the kit can be sent back to our CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited NGS lab. Our team of laboratory technicians, clinical genome scientists, and medical geneticists will process and analyze the sample within 6 to 8 weeks from receipt.
