`
`Dr. Craig

`
`Personalis Gold Standard
`Genomes Project
`
`CEPH1463 3-generation pedigree
`with 17 people, already sequenced
`by Complete Genomics
`
`Genome of Craig Venter, only “gold
`standard” (Sanger) genome ever
`
`DNA received & transferred to
`anonymizing containers in
`Personalis temporary lab space
`
`Illumina turn around 12 weeks, DNA
`has passed their incoming QC
`
`Complete Genomics turn around
`time initially 16 weeks, potentially
`declining since their downsizing

`

`Illumina’s service offering is less
`flexible than originally thought:
`
`Whole genome only (no exome)
`Only 2 x 100 reads on 300 base
`fragments
`30x, 60x or 90x
`
`Long term they could decide to be
`more flexible, but they just shut down
`their Hayward lab, which
`accommodated some semi-
`customization
`
`This provides more near-term
`opportunity to offer improvements,
`initially based on straightforward
`operational parameters, then
`increasingly based on Personalis
`proprietary content

`

`Potential structure for Personalis’
`Clinical Genome Sequencing (RUO)
`• Competitive offerings (ILMN, GNOM) are based on single insert-length
`paired end sequencing, just with 2x more coverage (e.g. 60-80x vs 30-40x)
`• Potential Personalis offering, 3 “Layers”:
`– Outsourced base:
`•
`30x at standard (300bp) paired-end insert lengths (2 x 100-150)
`•
`Provides sufficient coverage for most SNP detection, at low cost
`– Mid-tier, in house:
`•
`3-10x each at 600 & 1200 bp paired-end lengths
`•
`Key for addressing alignment degeneracy
`• May be optimized by content-driven pullout
`– Top tier, in house:
`•
`Specialty assays including:
`•
`Longer reads (e.g. 2 x 250-400)
`•
`Very long insert paired-ends
`• Target positioning:
`– Higher accuracy, even before the data interpretation
`– Priced at a premium but not in the stratosphere
`– BMW, not Lamborghini

`Personalis uses:

`Larger, semi-custom runs

`
`Specialty focused assays & the
`longest read lengths
`
`Starting customer projects faster
`
`Screening libraries for the HiSeq
`
`
`Our Feb 2012 CapEx budget called for just the MiSeq (at $200k), since HiSeq was $750k.
`Illumina is now proposing both for $620k. This would be a good combination for us,
`accelerating the start of our “full-service” business. Requires Board approval.

`

`Complete Genomics
`
`Started June 2005 (late, relative to competitors 454, Solexa & SOLiD)
`•
`• CEO & much of management had little prior experience in life sciences (wireless)
`• Novel technology best suited to very large-scale, so focused on whole human
`genomes (currently < 5% of the DNA seq market, though projected to grow)
`• Complexity (esp sample prep & informatics) and late market entry, led to decision to
`offer only a service (traditionally < 5% channel for platform companies)
`Venture financed, 5 rounds, $147M
`•
`• Nasdaq IPO (GNOM) at $9 / share, after 1st significant revenue (Q3 2010, $4.2M)
`Follow-on private placement June 2011 at $12.50 / share
`•
`•
`APIC 3/31/2012 $295.8M
`• Undercut market leader Illumina: Prices dropped 70% in 15 months
`• Revenue peaked mid-2010, still 30x smaller than Illumina
`•
`Sample prep problems in factory closed lab in late 2010, now open but still struggling
`•
`Stock dropped 90% from mid-2010 peak
`• Cash graph extrapolates to zero at end of 2012.
`•
`Last week: Jeffries & Co (investment bankers) hired to identify “strategic alternatives”

`

`Complete Genomics Assets of Potential
`Interest to Personalis
`• Experience sequencing (and access to the data of) > 4,000 human
`genomes, to high coverage
`• Experience with cancer genomes (a gap at Personalis)
`• Computing facility: 7,500 cores, 4 Petabytes ($10M investment)
`• Relatively advanced bioinformatics pipeline
`•
`IP : DNA nanoballs on a semiconductor grid, might be used with Solexa /
`Illumina biochemistry
`$27M backlog (some expected to evaporate, but probably not all)
`•
`• Tax-loss carry-forward: $231M
`• Nasdaq listing
`• Some commercial infrastructure
`• After laying off 55 last week, about 200 employees in Mountain View
`• Anticipate CLIA certification in 2012

`

`

`Personalis Assets of Potential Interest to
`Complete Genomics Shareholders
`• Far ahead regarding interpretation of human genome sequences
`• Personalis CEO :
`– Ran the DNA sequencing platform business which became #1
`– Raised $100M in Solexa public financings & has good relationships with numerous public
`investors
`– Reversed into a Nasdaq listed but troubled DNA sequencing company (Lynx) and made it
`part of the Solexa success (dropping Lynx sequencing chemistry but leveraging other Lynx
`experience & IP)
`– Sold Solexa at a major gain to shareholders (including Lynx’s)
`– Relationship with Illumina management
`• Personalis academic Founders & several ex-Stanford employees:
`– Have good working relationships with Complete
`– Could bring additional scientific & medical genomics credibility
`Investors with the potential to support a plan, if solid
`•
`• Personalis could be a real “strategic alternative” (vs the usual investment
`banking meaning of this phrase)
`

`
`Personalis EX2063
`
`

`

`Potential Business Approach
`
`• Reverse Personalis into Complete to become a Nasdaq-listed company
`• Structure to maintain (most of ?) the tax loss carry forward
`• Replace much of Complete’s management, including CEO, but retain key
`customer interfaces with deep life sciences background
`• Negotiate an end to IP litigation with Illumina, potentially including an
`investment by Illumina and some cross licensing
`• Discontinue use of Complete’s sequencing biochemistry, but look at use of
`Illumina biochemistry on Complete’s DNA nanoballs (“hybrid”) and/or just
`move to HiSeq’s
`• Stop development of sequencing instruments, biochemistry and related
`informatics at Complete. Cut other costs, including office space excess
`• Convert backlog to Illumina platform or the Illumina / Complete “hybrid”
`• Focus the company on medical genome sequencing, combining Personalis
`non-cancer expertise with Complete’s cancer genome experience & deep
`genome data set. Position for premium pricing.
`• Finance the company & achieve liquidity for Personalis investors
