Synthetic biology promised to rewrite life—with the death of its pioneer, J. Craig Venter, how close are scientists?
When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome, it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life.
J. Craig Venter, who won the race to sequence the human genome, dies a
J. Craig Venter, who mapped the first draft of the human genome and helped scientists understand how genes shape our lives, died Wednesday. He was 79. Venter’s death was announced by the J. Craig Venter Institute, a genomics research group with locations in La Jolla, California, and Rockville, Maryland. The institute said he died in San Diego after being hospitalized for side effects from a recent cancer treatment. In the 1990s Venter bet that h…
Craig Venter, the Maverick of the Scientific Community Who Led the Race to Decipher the Human Genome, Passes Away. Dr. John Craig Venter, who led the race to decode the human genome and opened the door to synthetic biology, has passed away at the age of 79. The Craig Venter Institute, which he founded, announced that Venter died on the 29th of last month due to side effects from recent cancer treatment.
The Sorcerer is dead
J Craig Venter, the grit that delivered the pearl of the human genome in 2000 rather than 2010, has blinked out at a hospital in San Diego from side-effects of his treatment for cancer. In another world, with different players, he'd have been a candidate for a Nobel gong from any of three different projects ESTs, HGP, or GOS – so fight me.He first came annoyingly across my horizon in 1991 when he increased the number of known human gene sequence…
