Hi Lesley and Rich,
See attached invoice. I put this together based on my brief
conversation with Jeffrey on Sat.
The only payment that should go out ASAP is the exome sequencing
work. That comes out to $1000 for the saliva sample I collected on Sat
from him PLUS $1000 for exome sequencing of his fibroblasts PLUS
$1000 for each person he wants to add to the study (if any).
The whole genome sequencing through Illumina does not need to be
paid until he gets the second consent form from me - about 2-3 weeks
from now. But if he wants to send and just have me hold on to it, that's
fine. This cost is $11,400 for rapid turnaround. If he wanted to include
his parents for "trio analyses" that would be $21,000.
All the other stuff is optional and explained in the attached invoice.
Happy to discuss with him if there are any questions (specifically the

I think if the check is in the $5000-6000 range just for the exomes, it can
just get made out to me and sent to my home address.
For larger checks including those other items, I wonder if it could be
mailed to one of my family members. This is embarrassing but since I'm
divorced and owe the ex some money, I don't want a large amount going
into my personal account and potentially being at risk when it all needs to

EFTA00304576

J.E. Invoice:
1. Exome sequencing: This is $1000 each. Right now I only have JE's saliva sample for
sequencing. If he wants to submit the kits I provided him with, it will be $1000 for each
additional sample.
= $1000 (+ $1000 for every additional exome for other people submitting saliva samples)
2. Exome sequencing of JE's fibroblasts: I discussed with JE the research significance of
comparing his exome data on blood with his fibroblast cell lines (which I already have
frozen down in liquid nitro at Boston Childrens Hospital). Sequencing this cell line would
be an additional $1000.
I'm going to try my best to get it in with this sequencing run but because they are cells,
that may be tricky. (They'll get in the next round if they don't make this one.)
= $1000
3. iPS cell lines: We've discussed making adult stem cells from JE's fibroblast cells. If we
do this, he, like George Church, would be one of very few people in the world to have
this done. With multiple cell passages, the process takes a minimum of 6 months and
there's no guarantee it will work — but the failure rate is probably around l in 6 or less
and eve in those instances, we can still do it — it would just take more time and some
additional funds for reagents.
Price = $10,000. This is pretty much at cost given the labor and reagents. I only know of
I commercial group providing this service — and they charge more than $10,000/ induced
pluripotent cell line.
= $10,000
4. Whole genome sequencing through Illumina: I won't be able to send this on to Illumina
until JE completes the second consent form which should be available in 1-2 weeks. If he
wants to send it ahead of time though, I guess that's fine.
= —$11,400 for rapid turnaround
I don't know if JE's parents are living — but if he wanted to include them (which greatly
aids my gcnome analysis to have that data to compare), the cost would be $21,000. See:
hup://www.illumina.com/clinical/illumina_clinical_laboratory/igs_for_doctors/how_to_o
rder.ilmn
EFTA00304577
5. WholLgenome analyses: We only discussed very briefly so I'm not sure Jeffrey will
remember but I mentioned to him that I was starting a medical genomics private practice
that would charge for personal whole genome and exome analyses. We're planning to
price this in the $10,000 range per patient and will include reanalysis of genomic data
(based on our collective improved knowledge of genomic variants) on a yearly basis for 3
years.
My plan for the first few people to sign up is to offer longterm biobanking of DNA and
cells and lifelong reanalysis of data. Even if we expand as planned, because of the labor
involved, we would only be able to offer this for our first few patients. Essentially, I
would be the personal medical genomicist for these people. To my knowledge, no such
service is available yet. If he's interested...
= $10,000
6. Personalized longevity studies: Funding for genetics research in academia generally relies
on federal NIH funding or pharma funding — which, respectively, are disease and drug
focused. I'm seeking funding to systematically introduce mutations in cell culture that
would be expected to increase longevity. If he goes with number 5 (lifelong analyses) and
number 3 above (generation of iPS cell lines from his fibros), I would bundle this work
into #5 and do the genomic engineering on his iPS cells when they're available.
I would use a CRISPR/Cas9 platform to introduce the mutations. I would need the money
for reagents but this work would essentially be included with #5 for JE since he would be
one of the first.
it's so labor intensive (the technology is brand new so there are no
automated systems to do this yet).
= free if going with #5 + CRISPR/Cas9 reagents(this should only be a few thousand)
7. Venus project: Jeffrey and briefly discussed a genomic research studying I'm dubbing the
Venus project (he'll know what this). I can do this for him but doing this work would be
greatly aided by having some good bioinformatic infrastructure. This infrastructure could
be used for the Venus project, YPO analyses, and other projects. Total anticpated costs
for this would be $160,00:
Genomic hardware: $100,000
Genomic software: $60,000/yr (this is for 2 systems costing $30,000 each/yr)
The software component would only need to be paid for 1 year because I'm confident I
can get other funding to cover this once we publish data in the first year using these
resources.
= $160,000
This is a big ticket item (at least relative to my bank acct O) so I'm happy to discuss this
item more with Jeffrey if he's interested in supporting this. If he covers this and pays for
EFTA00304578
the exomes which $1000/person — and he mentioned 200 participants being in this project
— I can deliver on this "Venus" research.
So, if he goes with everything on this invoice, it's:
I. $1000 ($1000 for every additional exomc on others he wants to include in the YPO
study)
2. $1000 for exome sequencing of JE's fibros
3. $10,000 to create adult stem cells for JE from his fibro cell lines
4. $11,400 for his whole genome ($21,000 if he wanted to include both of his parents; not
sure if this is even feasible)
5. $10,000 indefinite biobanking of his samples for eternity, lifelong reanalysis of genomic
data on an annual basis, and CRISPR/Cas9 manipulation of his adult stem cells to
introduce mutations in culture believed to increase longevity. I'm only offering this to
Jeffrey. Because of all the labor involved, there's simply not enough bandwidth to offer
this to more than a handful of people right now (at least in 2014).
6. Included in #5
7. $160,000 Bioinformatic infrastructure for the Venus project, the YPO study, and any
other pet genomic projects Jeffrey might have interest in now or in the future.
Total: $193,400.00
