A new JCVI spinout, Diploid Genomics, cofounded by J. Craig Venter and seeded by Healthier Capital, launched with plans to build an AI‑driven genomics analytics and diagnostics platform. The company intends to combine long‑read sequencing (PacBio, Oxford Nanopore), imaging and health data to deliver research and clinical insights, build a sequencing center in San Diego, and pursue CLIA certification. Diploid aims to target discovery and diagnostic workflows for complex diseases.
