  • A Review of J. Craig Venter's a Life Decoded
    A peer-reviewed electronic journal published by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies ISSN 1541-0099 17(1) – March 2008 A review of J. Craig Venter’s A Life Decoded Randy Mayes, Duke University Journal of Evolution and Technology - Vol. 17 Issue 1 – March 2008 - pgs 71-72 http://jetpress.org/v17/mayes.htm In the early 1980s, a number of researchers suggested sequencing and mapping the human genome to help the science community better understand diseases and evolution. Following the announcement that the human genome had been sequenced, scientists wrote in peer-reviewed journals that we are not as hardwired as was once believed, and that the sequencing of the genome was just the beginning. Today, researchers have a new set of goals. In popular journalism, however, the science was lost in the shuffle. The media focused more on the dynamics of the conflicting philosophies of the private and public projects. This emphasis is also clear in the titles of several books chronicling the Human Genome Project, all appearing prior to the recent release of Craig Venter’s autobiography, A Life Decoded: My Genome: My Life (2007). Readers will find that Robert Cook-Deegan’s The Gene Wars (1995) and The Common Thread by Sir John Sulston and Georgina Ferry (2002), both written by insiders, are biased towards the philosophy of the public project, a commons approach. Sulston is a socialist who grows runner beans and drives a second hand car. By contrast, Venter travels in Lear jets and conducts business from his yacht. Three other books are more objective.

Industrial Fellow, Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, Alliance Manchester Business School, Manchester University. 2 Senior Visiting Fellow, Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability, United Nations University 3. Information System Services, Lancaster University Abstract This article presents the global patent landscape for synthetic biology as a new and emerging area of science and technology. The aim of the article is to provide an overview of the emergence of synthetic biology in the patent system and to contribute to future research by providing a high quality tagged core dataset with 7,424 first filings and 71,887 family members. This dataset is intended to assist with evidence based exploration of synthetic biology in the patent system and with advancing methods for the analysis of new and emerging areas of science and technology. The starting point for the research is recognition that traditional methods of patent landscape analysis based on key word searches face limitations when addressing new and emerging areas of science and technology. Synthetic biology can be broadly described as involving the design, synthesis and assembly of biological parts, circuits, pathways, cells and genomes. As such synthetic biology can be understood as emerging from a combination of overlaps and convergences between existing fields and disciplines, such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, protein engineering and systems biology.

  • Scientists Create Cell Based on Man-Made Genetic Instructions
    25-5-2010 Scientists create cell based on man-m… Scientists create cell based on man•made genetic instructions By David Brown Friday, M ay 21, 2010; A03 Scientists reported Thursday that they have created a cell controlled entirely by man•made genetic instructions •• the latest step toward creating life from scratch. The achievement is a landmark in the emerging field of "synthetic biology," which aims to control the behavior of organisms by manipulating their genes. Although the ultimate goal of creating artificial organisms is still far off, the experiment points to a future in which microbes could be manufactured with novel functions, such as the ability to digest pollutants or produce fuels. Some ethicists fear that the strategy could also be used to produce biological weapons and other dangerous life forms. In a paper published online by the journal Science, researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute described using off•the•shelf chemicals and the DNA sequence of Mycoplasma mycoides's genes to make an artificial copy of the bacterium's genome. The scientists then transplanted that genome into the cell of a different (but closely related) microbe. The donor genome reprogrammed the recipient cell, which went on to replicate and divide. The result was new colonies of Mycoplasma mycoides. "We think these are the first synthetic cells that are self• replicating and whose genetic heritage started in the computer. That changes conceptually how I think about life," said J. Craig Venter, 63, who gained fame a decade ago as the co•sequencer of the human genome. His institute has laboratories and offices in Rockville and San Diego.

  • Craig Venter's Bugs Might Save the World
    May 30, 2012 Craig Venter’s Bugs Might Save the World By WIL S. HYLTON In the menagerie of Craig Venter’s imagination, tiny bugs will save the world. They will be custom bugs, designer bugs — bugs that only Venter can create. He will mix them up in his private laboratory from bits and pieces of DNA, and then he will release them into the air and the water, into smokestacks and oil spills, hospitals and factories and your house. Each of the bugs will have a mission. Some will be designed to devour things, like pollution. Others will generate food and fuel. There will be bugs to fight global warming, bugs to clean up toxic waste, bugs to manufacture medicine and diagnose disease, and they will all be driven to complete these tasks by the very fibers of their synthetic DNA. Right now, Venter is thinking of a bug. He is thinking of a bug that could swim in a pond and soak up sunlight and urinate automotive fuel. He is thinking of a bug that could live in a factory and gobble exhaust and fart fresh air. He may not appear to be thinking about these things. He may not appear to be thinking at all. He may appear to be riding his German motorcycle through the California mountains, cutting the inside corners so close that his kneepads skim the pavement. This is how Venter thinks. He also enjoys thinking on the deck of his 95-foot sailboat, halfway across the Pacific Ocean in a gale, and while snorkeling naked in the Sargasso Sea surrounded by Portuguese men-of-war.

  • Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (Bacs) Became the Most Broadly Used Resource for Several Reasons
    Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes STC Production on Human BACs Archive Provided for Historical Purposes Home STC Project History 1995 Meeting Articles Contacts Links HGP Sequences HGP Research Several types of DNA library resources were sponsored by the DOE before and during the Human Genome Program (HGP). These included both prokaryotic and eukaryotic vector systems, and clone libraries representing single chromosomes. Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) became the most broadly used resource for several reasons. The large size was a good match for capabilities of high throughput sequencing centers. As contrasted to some earlier resources, chimerism (having gene segments from multiple chromosome sites combined in one clone) is substantially if not completely absent. With some interesting exceptions , the BACS are stable in their bacterial hosts. In support of the functional analysis of genes, the BACs are very useful for making transgenic animals with segments of human DNAs. A brief history of BAC development is available in a preface to a 2003 issue of Methods in Molecular Biology , wherein details of BAC related protocols reside. One particular BAC project was crucial to the timely completion of human genome sequencing. (See history .) In a 1996 initiative, the DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research sponsored the production of sequence tag connectors (STCs) for the BACs being used in human genome sequencing. (STCs are sequence reads at the ends of cloned DNA segments; they mark the boundaries of the cloned DNA.) This publicly available resource has served both the international public collaboration and Celera Genomics Inc . in the generation of the human genome sequence. The BACs representing a genome can together serve as a scaffold on which much shorter DNA sequence assemblies can be located.

  • Craig Venter Vs the Human Genome Project
    BALLEN SCIENTIFIC RIVALRIES AND SCANDALS In the mid-1980s, some geneticists proposed a daring project to sequence the human genome. That meant figuring out the exact order of the three billion chemical pairs that make up human DNA. Sequencing the human genome could help scientists understand how our bodies work and help doctors diagnose, treat, and prevent certain diseases. The HUMAN GENOME PROJECT launched in 1990, with scientists around the world collaborating on the research. They worked slowly and methodically, trying to produce the most accurate information possible. By 1991 one of these scientists, CRAIG VENTER, became fed up with the HGP’s slow pace. He challenged the HGP to move faster and started his own company to compete with the HGP. OUR DNA OUR Racing neck and neck, the two organizations reached their goal years ahead of OUR schedule. But the challenge also led to a bitter public argument, especially over who could use the sequence and how. This book reveals how ambition, persistence, ego, greed, and principle combined—often with explosive results—in the quest to decode our DNA.
