J. Craig Venter has announced the opening of his Health Nucleus programme's first clinic, following on from last month's announcement that his Human Longevity outfit was to enter into partnership with Discovery Ltd to offer whole exome sequencing, Mr Venter's latest venture will offer a far more detailed look at customers' genomes. Physicals at Health Nucleus include whole body MRI scans Using MRI data, Health Nucleus can quantify the exact volumes of unhealthy visceral fat and tissues that may reveal the progress of disease Health Nucleus has access to 24 Illumina HiSeqX genome sequencing machines at HLI that represent one of the largest sequencing facilities in the United States, Venter said. The clinic is being set up in Cambridge, where it will be run by Dr David Sinclair, who previously worked for Google and now runs an organisation called Genomics Direct. Mr Venter is initially targeting the executive check-up market, but has advocated sequencing the genomes of all medical students to further genetic understanding within the profession.
