Craig Venter Quotes

For each gene in your genome, you quite often get a different version of that gene from your father and a different version from your mother. We need to study these relationships across a very large number of people.
Fred Sanger was one of the most important scientists of the 20th century.
Genes can't possibly explain all of what makes us what we are.
Genetic design is something we can use to fight the lack of sustainability we humans are forcing on the earth's environment.
Genome design is going to be a key part of the future. That's why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them.
Genomics are about individuals. It's about what's specific to you, not your siblings, not your parents - each of us is totally unique. We will only see that uniqueness by drilling down to the genetic code.
How we understand our own selves and how we work with our DNA software has implications that will affect everything from vaccine development to new approaches to antibiotics, new sources of food, new sources of chemicals, even potentially new sources of energy.
Human lifespan used to be 30 years, 25 years. But there's no basic, fundamental reason why it has to be short.
I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment.
I am confident that life once thrived on Mars and may well still exist there today.
I am not sure our brains and our psychologies are ready for immortality.
I don't see any absolute biological limit on human age.
I have a blend of klotho gene variants that have been linked with a lower risk for coronary artery disease and stroke and an advantage in longevity.
I have an unusual type of thinking. I have no visual memory whatsoever. Everything is conceptual to me.
I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet.
I hope I'll be remembered for my scientific contribution to understanding life and human life.
I naively thought that we could have a molecular definition for life, come up with a set of genes that would minimally define life. Nature just refuses to be so easily quantified.
I see, in the future, bioengineered almost everything you can imagine that we use.
I somewhat joke that I know an awful lot because I learn from my mistakes. I just make a lot of mistakes. It's OK to fail in science just as long as you have the successes to go with the failures.
I spent 10 years trying to find one gene.
