**Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8** 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Personalis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), in connection with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "***Registration Statement***") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***Commission***") covering the offering of up to 2,802,425 shares (the "***Shares***") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("***Common Stock***"), consisting of (a) 2,335,354 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "***EIP***") and (b) 467,071 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together with the EIP, the "***Plans***").

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and related prospectuses, the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently in effect, the Plans and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such other records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all persons other than the Company where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such matters.

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Plans, the Registration Statement and related prospectuses, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable (except as to shares issued pursuant to certain deferred payment arrangements, which will be fully paid and nonassessable when such deferred payments are made in full).

Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Personalis, Inc. (the "Registrant") that become issuable under the Registrant's
2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") and the Registrant's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected

issuance under the 2019 Plan on January 1, 2023 pursuant to an "evergreen" provision contained in the 2019 Plan. Pursuant to such provision, an additional number of shares will automatically be added annually to the shares authorized
for issuance under the 2019 Plan on January 1 of each year, for a period of not more than ten years, commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to (a) 5% of the total number of

day of any calendar year.

(3) Represents additional shares of Common Stock that were automatically added to the shares authorized for
issuance under the ESPP on January 1, 2023 pursuant to an "evergreen" provision contained in the ESPP. The ESPP provides that an additional number of shares will automatically be added annually to the shares authorized for issuance
under the ESPP on January 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to the least of (a) 1% of the total number of shares of the Registrant's capital stock
outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, (b) 500,000 shares of Common Stock and (c) a number of shares of Common Stock designated by action of the Registrant's board of directors prior to the first day of any
calendar year.

(4) Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee on the basis of $3.11 per share, which is the average of the high and low selling prices of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock on February 22, 2023.

(5) Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee on the basis of $2.65 per share, which is the average of the high and low selling prices of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock on February 22, 2023 multiplied by 85% (the percentage of the price per
share applicable to purchases under the ESPP).
