This is a recommendation, not an advertisement. If anyone else has any recommendations for preparing for AI-assisted life extension escape velocity, please share.
One way I've prepared is using Nebula's Whole Genome Sequencing services.
I recommend everyone do the same and opt for the Ultra Deep Whole Genome Sequence.
It's much more expensive, but far more comprehensive than the other options, particularly because it offers a full mapping of your genetic proteome, which could be crucial for future rejuvenation therapies. They also return all of the information in raw and clean data formats for your personal storage, which could be vital in providing a baseline for future computational gene therapists to work from.
If you are young or in good health, my recommendation is to do this sooner rather than later. Each day that passes, you are a day older and just that much more susceptible to irreversible gene expression changes.
The hope is that this data will provide a "save state" for future computational gene therapists to rejuvenate your DNA in the event of irreversible gene damage, deterioration from aging, or gene expression changes. This means that if you do this when you are 30 and it takes until you are 60 for gene rejuvenation technology to mature to the point of viability, you could return your genes to the biological state they were in when you were 30, effectively making you 30 again.

I'm skeptical of your claim that this is better to get now than later. You say that the present day expression can be a "save state", but from my understanding your genome is pretty static throughout your life, save for telomeres. Expression changes over time, but it is much more likely sounding to me that there are general proteomic changes associated with aging that are pretty standard in the population, and can be targeted with much more accuracy in a each passing decade.
I think it would probably be more worthwhile to do one of these in 5 years, when the same product will cost $100 instead of $1000.
