It is the company that was founded by gene guru Craig Venter that was going to beat the government at deciphering the genome and become the Bloomberg of biology by selling genetic data.
Clark, Molecular Biology: Understanding the Genetic Revolution, pg. 84-85 (Academic Press, 2005).
The genetic revolution in biology is set to produce a steady flow of new drugs, diagnostics and medical devices to help meet the demand, while a prosperous economy will let people spend lavishly.
Training activities in partnership with the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB-Cape Town), the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) and other partners are currently being implemented.
The pharmaceutical industry, despite a golden age of biology that has unraveled mysteries of the genetic code and yielded miracle drugs that save thousands of lives, may be on the brink of a backlash.
The pharmaceutical industry, despite a golden age of biology that has unraveled mysteries of the genetic code and yielded miracle drugs that save thousands of lives, may be on the brink of getting hit by a backlash.
The organic community remains unswayed by either biology or history, however, and modern genetic engineering remains prohibited from organic agriculture.
One worry is that the new science of synthetic biology, the souped-up form of genetic engineering that involves radically modifying organisms or even someday designing them from scratch, is both more promising and more dangerous that the technology that has been around for two decades and gave birth to Amgen, Genencor, and Monsanto.

Codon is aiming to become the leading player in a new field called "synthetic biology, " creating tools by which cells and their genetic material can be more precisely engineered in order to create new medicines and industry.
Modern evolutionary biology as we understand it, which is to say variation via genetic drift, mutations, duplications combined with the pruning filter of natural selection, certainly explains a great deal.
The virus' genetic code was uncovered with one of the most common tests in biology, the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR.
Students in Joycelin Palacio-Cayetano's sophomore biology class at Polytechnic High School in Sun Valley, Calif. used Immex to investigate how genetic mutations occur.
