Microlands

A celebrated genome scientist sails around the world, collecting tens of millions of marine microbes and revolutionising our understanding of the microbiome that sustains us.

Mycoplasma Laboratorium

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mycoplasma laboratorium is a planned partially synthetic species of bacterium derived from the genome of Mycoplasma genitalium. This effort in synthetic biology is being undertaken at the J. Craig Venter Institute by a team of approximately 20 scientists headed by Nobel laureate Hamilton Smith, and including DNA researcher Craig Venter and microbiologist Clyde A. Hutchison III. Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria of the class Mollicutes in the division Tenericutes, characterised by the lack of a cell wall (making it Gram negative) due to their parasitic or commensal lifestyle (extracellular and intracellular).

CAMERA

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. CAMERA, or the Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis, is a microbial ecology research project which was announced in January 2006.The project aims to serve the needs of the microbial ecology research community by creating a vast data repository and a bioinformatics tools resource that will address many of the unique challenges of metagenomic analysis. The project is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation which awarded a 7-year, $24.5-million research grant to the CAMERA project, beginning in January 2006. CAMERA is devoted to serving the needs of scientists studying the complexity of organisms as they function in natural ecosystems. The group is managed by: Principal Investigator Larry Smarr (UCSD), Executive Director Paul Gilna (UCSD). CAMERA helps scientists access and work with data from the Venter Institute's Global Ocean Sampling Expedition. In 2007, the GOS dataset was the largest ever released in the public domain. The group also places many other datasets for download on its website.

J. Craig Venter Institute

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The J. Craig Venter Institute is a non-profit genomics research institute founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. in October 2006. (Venter first announced the existence of the Institute on 29 September 2004.) The Institute was the result of consolidating four organizations: the Center for the Advancement of Genomics, The Institute for Genomic Research, the Institute for Biological Energy Alternatives, and the J. Craig Venter Science Foundation Joint Technology Center. It has facilities in Rockville, Maryland and La Jolla, California.

Craig Venter

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John Craig Venter (born October 14, 1946) is an American biologist and entrepreneur, most famous for his role in being one of the first to sequence the human genome and for his role in creating the first cell with a synthetic genome in 2010. Venter founded Celera Genomics, The Institute for Genomic Research and the J. Craig Venter Institute, now working at the latter to create synthetic biological organisms and to document genetic diversity in the world's oceans. He was listed on Time magazine's 2007 and 2008 Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.

The Voyage of Sorcerer II

Craig Venter embarks on a series of epic ocean voyages to seek out, genetically sequence, and learn from underwater microbes. The Voyage of Sorcerer II reveals a treasure trove of previously unknown life and shows how, from improving human health to confronting climate change, microbes are key to our future.
