Today we say goodbye to Craig Venter (79), a genomics pioneer and key figure in sequencing the human genome.

He transformed genomics into a scalable, data-driven science and advanced synthetic biology.

Rest in peace ✨

Great conversation today with legends @geneyeo @craigventer at the @salkinstitute.bsky.social @natureportfolio.bsky.social mtg on RNA Therapeutics.

Abrasive, swashbuckling, reporter-friendly, his rule was "when they bring the wine, it's all off the record". So no one recorded an epic dinner with Cavalli Sforza about the future of the Y chromosome, pleiotropy, and - à propos Nicholas Wade - racism...

After more than two weeks, the Grauniad now has an #obituary for #craigventer: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/may/14/craig-venter-obituary I was kind of surprised that he died at a normal age, rather than using his resources to engineer his own immortality.
