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 […]

My February #Scrabblegram is sort of a sequel to Dave's #DNA 'gram (see my previous post) The #HumanGenomeProject determined the base pairs of human DNA, mapping and sequencing our genetic code 🧬 #Scrabble #Science #Biology Can you find the revolutionary DNA in this Scrabblegram? 🤓 #cryptic

#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.

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

Cells aren’t fancy clockwork machines: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jPhvic-eqbc

(I was going to support Jake via his Patreon page, but unfortunately he’s not accepting new subscribers at the moment)
