Morning JOc...just thought I would follow up on the email I sent you the other day...Jeffrey is
asking if there is any update on his genome! Could you let me know?
Thanks so much...I do know you are tremendously busy!

Hi MI,
Jeffrey's skin biopsy resulted in several successful, viable fibroblast cultures. Those
cell lines are now stored in liquid nitrogen and slated for iPS cell line ("adult stem
cells") creation. Essentially, this process requires several culture passages, and
reiteration of picking out the right colony for further passages. Success rate of
generating iPS cells is relatively high now but the process still takes several
months.
On the DNA side of things, I'm working on getting Jeffrey's sample into the current queue.
If it makes it, we're probably looking at about 2 months turnaround time until
whole genome data.
Let me know if I can help with other questions.
Best,
Joe
