J. #CraigVenter, 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.
Dr. #Venter, a risk-taker and intense competitor, made a bold move when he decided that the #HumanGenomeProject, a $3 billion government program for decoding the human genome, was moving slowly enough that he could enter the race late and beat it with a much faster method.

Nature Communications: A digital archive reveals how a funding agency cooperated with academics to support the nascent field of genomics. “Here, we present a fully digital archive assembled by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), focusing on the nascent stages of ‘genomics’ as a scientific field and the everyday workings of the Human Genome Project and subsequent major genomics […]

#RyojiIkeda: data-verse - #HighMuseum of #Art

https://high.org/exhibition/ryoji-ikeda/

Ryoji Ikeda’s data-verse is an immersive #audiovisual trilogy considered his ultimate project, created by transforming vast scientific datasets into complex visual and sonic experiences.

It consists of three synchronized high-definition video projections with minimalist electronic soundtracks, exploring data from sources like #NASA, #CERN, and the #HumanGenomeProject.

Do you remember #HumanGenomeProject? I’m not sure Trump admin wants you to
It was one of the top #science, technology, and #medicine stories of the 1990s and early 2000s; at the time, the press often compared it to the 1969 Apollo moon landing.
He used to maintain the #NIH’s #HGP archives. Now he doesn’t know what will happen to them. arAhival records detailing much of these events are under threat due to efforts by the Trump administration.

Human genome contains 2.85 billion nucleotides; human nucleotide sequence is nearly identical (99.9%) between any two individuals https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/dna-sequencing-technologies-key-to-the-human-828/

"A new watershed study has mapped over 3,000 #cell types in the #human #brain"

"This is very much like the early stages of the #HumanGenomeProject. We have now begun that journey."

Like with #DNA, no doubt the rush to "#patent" brain cell patterns is fully engaged.

Just watched a couple of brilliant YouTube videos by biologist Jake Brown

🧬 Interesting article in @Gizmodo on the 20th anniversary of the #HumanGenomeProject that features our Director Emeritus Hans Lehrach, who was involved in sequencing the first human genome.

I am looking for an more recent reference about the global impact of the Human Genome Project. This article is dated from 2013 and I guess that there could be an updated research on this topic ?
