Everything said about Nucleus Genomics, oldest first

Aug 16, 2024 bullish
Prediction Didn’t hold up
Sadeghi predicts Nucleus will sequence 500,000 whole genomes by 2026
“I think we can actually, I think two years from now, we can get half a million samples. Two years from today, I think we could do that.”

Aug 16, 2024
Disclosure
Nucleus Genomics employs 14 people full-time
“We're only 14 people full-time.”
Kian Sadeghi Aug 16, 2024 ▶ 34:07 The Quiet Revolution in DNA Sequencing | Nucleus Genomics · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Aug 16, 2024 neutral
Assertion Supported
Sadeghi: Genetics alone can never predict IQ due to 50% environmental factor
“You can't. From genetics predicts someone's IQ. And actually what a lot of people don't realize is you will never be able to. And the reason for that is because 50% of intelligence is environmental. The other 50% is genetic.”
Kian Sadeghi Aug 16, 2024 ▶ 13:01 The Quiet Revolution in DNA Sequencing | Nucleus Genomics · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Aug 16, 2024
Assertion Supported
Sadeghi: Nucleus IQ benchmarks against genetic cohorts, rather than predicting IQ
“Nucleus IQ, the function of it is not to predict your IQ score. The way it works is it basically tells you people with similar genetics to you, how they tend to score on an IQ test.”
Kian Sadeghi Aug 16, 2024 ▶ 3:30 The Quiet Revolution in DNA Sequencing | Nucleus Genomics · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Aug 16, 2024 neutral
Disclosure
Sadeghi shares his 99.3 percentile schizophrenia genetic risk and 1.43% overall risk
“And you can see here how, even though I'm dramatically higher genetic risk, right? 2.48, I think is in the 99.3 percentile. My overall risk is 1.43%.”

Jun 4, 2025 bullish
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Sadeghi: Genomic sequencing, analysis, and editing will create a trillion-dollar industry
“And when you think about the next 10 years, you know, as I alluded to earlier, sequencing technology is kind of cheaper, analysis is kind of cheaper, understand the genome is going to dramatically increase, and genome editing is going to become much cheaper. A…”

Jun 4, 2025 positive
Assertion Contradicted
Sadeghi: Nucleus is the first company to optimize embryos for IQ
“This is the first time a company has partnered with a couple who have optimized their embryos on the basis of intelligence.”
Kian Sadeghi Jun 4, 2025 ▶ 1:41 Nucleus Launches First Genetically Optimized Embryo · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Jun 4, 2025 positive
Opinion
Sadeghi: Patients, not doctors, should use genetic data to select embryos
“We believe that every piece of information from cancer to IQ to schizophrenia belongs very thoughtfully in the hands of the patient, and the patient is the one, not the doctor, that the patient is the one that should pick their embryo.”
Kian Sadeghi Jun 4, 2025 ▶ 12:06 Nucleus Launches First Genetically Optimized Embryo · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Jun 4, 2025 positive
Assertion Supported
Nucleus software analyzes embryo DNA to predict IQ, cancer risk, and traits
“So usually parents have a couple viable embryos, and now they can actually take the raw DNA files of them, upload to Nucleus, and we'll give you analysis on everything from cancers, to IQ, to eye color, to hair color, to schizophrenia risk.”
Kian Sadeghi Jun 4, 2025 ▶ 1:04 Nucleus Launches First Genetically Optimized Embryo · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Jun 4, 2025 bullish
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Sadeghi: Future reproductive genomics platforms will both sequence and edit DNA
“Because eventually, you're not just going to be sequencing and analyzing DNA, You'll also probably be editing it as well.”

Insight
Sadeghi: The medical distinction between genetic diseases and traits is arbitrary
“From our perspective as a company, there's really no difference between diseases and traits. It's a false line in the sand that was drawn.”
Kian Sadeghi Jun 4, 2025 ▶ 21:43 Nucleus Launches First Genetically Optimized Embryo · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Jun 4, 2025 bullish
Disclosure
Sadeghi: Nucleus plans to expand into post-birth genetic testing for babies
“And so you see this testing from preconception to conception, and now even after birth, we're going to be exploring as well.”
Kian Sadeghi Jun 4, 2025 ▶ 5:37 Nucleus Launches First Genetically Optimized Embryo · Sourcery with Molly O'Shea
Jun 4, 2025 positive
Assertion Open · timeframe Jun 2028
Sadeghi: Whole-genome testing will unify ancestry, clinical screening, and IVF platforms
“Because fundamentally, through the rise of the whole genome test, you can actually combine every single one of these applications. You can combine, you know, kind of ancestry, Natera, Myriad, IVF genetic testing companies, PGX companies, all into one roof, int…”
