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 large bioinformatics item / #7).
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 get used for this research. Anyway,
let me know what Jeffrey is willing to cover and if the check is large, I may ask that it go to my dad (who is
EFTA00367319
absolutely trustworthy - he would just be hanging on to funds as we disburse it for the various research
items).
Thank you both of your help. Let me know if anything needs clarification.
