Hi Jeffrey,

I'm sorry about the del=y and your frustration in getting your results.

=div>First and foremost, I want to stress this is research and it is fully =oluntary. You always have the option to drop out at any time and receive a=full refund of sequencing costs. This is no problem. (Your sequencing is a=ready done actually but the money will still be refunded if you withdraw f=rm the study.)

If you choose to withdraw from the=study we will of course discard/destroy all your data and samples.

I won't have your analysis completed by tomorrow for =ure but I am still going through analysis of your data (as well as other Y=O members) and expect to complete analysis and return of data by end of th=s month. We can certainly schedule go ahead and schedule a time to go over=your results by phone perhaps in the 3rd or 4th week of May if you're =vailable.

If you decide to continue in the study=you will receive a copy of your data - which can be reanalyzed in the future. I also plan to (if you're willing) over time and for free continue =o fill in any gaps in your sequence data.

I hope =his helps in deciding on whether you withdraw or continue in the study. I =an set goals but with almost no budget (except for the sequencing) and min=mal staff on this project, there have been delays.

If you still have any questions, you can reach me by cellphone anyt=me today. If I'm in a meeting and can't pick up, I w=Il call you back within 1-2hours (or whatever time is convenient for you a=ter 5pm).

Thanks for your patience,
Joe=Thakuria
