Human Longevity Sequenced 6.4 Billion Letters of Chelsea Handler's DNA
More and more companies are offering consumers a peek inside their genome for a few hundred bucks — but DNA isn’t destiny, as comedian Chelsea Handler has learned.
She spoke with genomics pioneer J. Craig Venter on her Netflix show “Chelsea” on Thursday, after his company, Human Longevity, sequenced all 6.4 billion letters of her genome. From that data, Venter’s team sketched out what they thought Handler must have looked like when she was a teenager.
