(Bloomberg) – Craig Venter has got a deal for you. For $25,000, he’ll sell you a complete genome sequence, a full-body MRI scan, a cardio CT scan, bone densitometry, cognitive testing and more, all in the hope of discovering a lurking tumor or brain abnormality — and nipping it in the bud. “We’re driving a medical revolution,” says Venter of his latest startup, Human Longevity Inc., or HLI. “We have sequencing that’s better than anybody else in the world. We have the most accurate data.”
