From: Lesley Groff <1 To: Joseph Thakuria Cc: "Dr. George Church" <1 Subject: Re: Jeffrey Epstein Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:47:13 +0000 Morning JOe...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! Lesley Assistant to Jeffrey Epstein On Aug 1, 2013, at 8:03 AM, Joseph Thakuria > wrote: Hi Lesley, 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 Joseph V.
