For more than two decades J. Craig Venter and his research teams have been pioneers in genomic research. Regarded as one of the leading scientist of the 21st century, Venter discusses how he is applying tools and techniques developed to sequence the human genomes to discover new genes of microbes from around the world.

  • funny how all the things he says are very diplomatic: it's like he's tlaking simultaneously to creationists and scientists. all the things he says are compatible to these two "paradigms", or at least very kind to the creationist paradimg. really this is like an intense exercise of dilpomacy while still discussing his research and remaining scientifically true. he sells and defends his project really well. I like this guy.

  • On the road to immortality...yes!! Of all the ages to exist, how randomly sublime that 'WE' may have the option to choose to live indefinitely...

  • @attilaclark you realize that by creating such a chromosome, cancer cells could possibly be killed off by modified healthy chromosomes in the same fashion. Not to mention, anyone with bad intentions is highly unlikely to get the resources to make anything of it.

  • best video on Youtube with Craig talking about this subject

  • There's one problem with the simplicity of your statement:

    If Craig doesn't control it, someone bad might. In fact, chances are pretty high others will try control these developments. I'd prefer it to be someone smart and with good intentions. Better allow HIM to go at it than to have it done in secret.

  • If you noticed his research designed a killer chromosome that would turn on and kill its processor..next he says he wanted to build a more complicated version. Hmmm, I don't know if I like this research.

  • cool

    very important work

  • 41:10 - it's a little hot for a bath. yep it's way to hot xD
