    I'd sequence a large (really large) number of microbial genomes,
    mostly from soil bacteria and fungi. This would greatly speed up
    the discovery of genes encoding enzymes that can break down stuff
    that we can't (lipofuscin, A2E, oxysterols, amyloid, etc.), whose
    administration (mostly by gene therapy) will be an indispensable
    component of reversing aging.
