Peer Group Issuers, Footnote In accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules, the Company and the Company’s peer group total shareholder return (the “Peer Group TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on September 30, 2020, through the end of the listed fiscal year. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table was determined using the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, which we also use in preparing the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K for our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.    
PEO Total Compensation Amount $ 7,998,637 $ 5,917,663 $ 1,281,593
PEO Actually Paid Compensation Amount $ 3,219,824 (15,039,602) 18,054,219
Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of “compensation actually paid,” as calculated in accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules. These dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amounts of compensation earned by or paid to our NEOs during the applicable year. For purposes of calculating “compensation actually paid,” the fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718 using the same assumption methodologies used to calculate the grant date fair value of awards for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table (refer to “Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Table” for additional information). The following table shows the amounts deducted from and added to the Summary Compensation Table total to calculate “compensation actually paid” to Dr. Leproust in accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules:
