"J. Craig Venter, the scientist who raced to decode the human genome, has died at 79. Venter rose to fame in the field for publishing the first bacterial genome ever decoded, along with a list on gene annotations, in 1995. The achievement kicked off an age of discovery in genetics, with researchers racing to decode the genomes of other pathogens—and eventually, animals." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/infamous-geneticist-and-decoder-of-the-human-genome-j-craig-venter-dies-at-79/ #CraigVenter #Genetics #Genomes #Obituary
