FYI
 (John) Craig Venter (b. 14 October 1946), an American biologist and entrepreneur, was among the first to sequence the human genome. In 2010, he played a role in creating the first cell with a synthetic genome. The J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) is a  genomics research organization that studies genomics and it societal implications. For more information on Venter, see two related Ted videos:Craig Venter is on the verge of creating synthetic life (2008). Can we create new life out of our digital universe? Craig Venter asks. His answer is yes -- and pretty soon. He walks through his latest research and promises that we'll soon be able to build and boot up a synthetic chromosome.Ted: Craig Venter unveils synthetic life (2010). Craig Venter and team make a historic announcement: they've created the first fully functioning, reproducing cell controlled by synthetic DNA. He explains how they did it and why the achievement marks the beginning of a new era for science.
