About: Craig Venter. Va fundar TIGR el Craig Venterrek eta ezarri zuen. Gaur egun ikerketa eta garapenetan lan egiten ari da organismo biologiko sintetikoak sortzeko eta itsasoko genetiko anitztasuna dokumentatzeko.
He is known for leading the first draft sequence of the human genome and assembled the first team to transfect a cell with a synthetic chromosome.
He was the co-founder of Human Longevity Inc. He was listed on Time magazine's and Time list of the most influential people in the world. In , Venter was honored with Dan David Prize for his contribution to genome research. He co-authored a paper titled, " Caenorhabditis elegans expressed sequence tags identify gene families and potential disease gene homologues," in He recruited private resources to map the human genome himself, with his own methods.
Venter has been criticized for using the initial work of the NIH on genome mapping for his personal gain. In , Venter published a paper, "A new strategy for genome sequencing," arguing that the advances made in EST and mapping a bacterial genome made it feasible to apply the method to the human genome and complete the project before at a projected cost of three billion dollars.
Noting that critics opposed the EST method of genome sequencing, in Venter founded Celera Genomics, a for-profit company. Venter planned to sequence the human genome using tools and techniques that he and his team developed. TIGR focused on decoding and analyzing the genomes of several organisms, including the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, syphilis, tuberculosis, and meningitis, while Celera focused on the human genome.
The techniques developed by Venter were faster and focused only on genes , which are the protein producing pieces of the genome , roughly five percent of the human genome. Furthermore, they were concerned about the public availability of the human genome data, noting the for-profit orientation of Celera.
These worries were picked up by Congress, who posed them to Venter during his hearings. Venter defended his approach and told Congress that his company did not intend to patent most of their data, except for to sequences that he said were sufficiently novel, not obvious, and useful.
After the hearings, the race between Celera and the NIH to map the human genome accelerated. NIH and Celera both published a first draft of the human genome ahead of schedule on 16 February , in the journals Nature and Science , respectively.
In , Venter and his wife divorced, and Venter married Heather Kowalski in In , Venter founded the J. On 20 May , Venter and his team announced the development of a bacterium, Mycoplasma laboratorium , with an entirely synthetic genome. Some scientists argued that the first synthetic genome is a major step forward from genetic engineering of individual genes.
