Genome pioneer Craig Venter dies: here’s how he transformed science

Venter redrew the boundaries of biology — sequencing DNA at unprecedented speed, engineering synthetic life and charting ocean microbes.

"J. Craig Venter, Scientist Who Decoded the Human Genome, Dies at 79
A risk-taking outsider, he brought speed, competition and controversy to one of science’s biggest races."

If we ever get a chance to refactor the #humangenome ,I vote for putting all of the genes on the top strand. #genomics #bioinformatics and renaming it the #crick strand

"Work has begun on a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life from scratch, in what is believed to be a world first.
[...]
[T]he Wellcome Trust, has given an initial £10m to start the project and says it has the potential to do more good than harm by accelerating treatments for many incurable diseases."

Synthetic Human Genome Project gets go ahead

Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

Biological reality: What genetics has taught us about race ~ Adam Rutherford, BBC

"[Human Genome Project] provided definitive evidence that racial groupings have no biological basis. In fact, there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them. Race, it showed, is a social construct."

'Biological reality': What genetics has taught us about race

As US President Donald Trump takes aim at the Smithsonian Institution for "anti-American ideology", Adam Rutherford examines what the science of genetics has taught us about race.

Ancient viral DNA in the human genome protects against neurodegenerative diseases

Specific ancient viral DNA sequences in the human genome are linked to genetic risk for multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, suggesting these elements may influence neurodegenerative disease development through changes in gene expression.
