Description:
J. Craig Venter, the scientist and entrepreneur who helped decode the human genome, died April 29 at age 79. In the 1990s, Venter challenged the government-led Human Genome Project with a faster sequencing approach through Celera. In 2000, Celera and the Human Genome Project jointly announced the first human genome sequence. Venter later advanced synthetic biology and was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2007.
