Intellectual property is a key aspect for economic development.
— Craig Venter
Space X's Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars with modules where earthlings can live. My teleporting technology is the number one way those individuals will get new information, new treatments of diseases that will occur on the planet, and new food sources.
— Craig Venter
The environment has fallen to the wayside in politics.
— Craig Venter
I think future engineered species could be the source of food, hopefully a source of energy, environmental remediation and perhaps replacing the petrochemical industry.
— Craig Venter
Life is a DNA software system.
— Craig Venter
Even though people pretend that medical records are privileged information, anyone can already get their hands on them.
— Craig Venter
Creating life at the speed of light is part of a new industrial revolution. Manufacturing will shift from centralised factories to a distributed, domestic manufacturing future, thanks to the rise of 3D printer technology.
— Craig Venter
Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature.
— Craig Venter
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.
— Craig Venter
Privacy with medical information is a fallacy. If everyone's information is out there, it's part of the collective.
— Craig Venter
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.
— Craig Venter
The day is not far off when we will be able to send a robotically controlled genome-sequencing unit in a probe to other planets to read the DNA sequence of any alien microbe life that may be there.
— Craig Venter
The trouble is the field of science, medicine, universities, biotech companies - you name it - have been so splintered, layers, sub-divided, hacked that people can spend their entire career studying one tiny little cog of life.
— Craig Venter
'Bloomberg's, you know, for people who don't use the service, provides through the Internet - through specialized computers - information about the financial world. It's a very large data base. I think they have on the order of a billion dollars or more a year in revenue.
— Craig Venter
If you have lung cancer, the most important thing you can know is your genetic code.
— Craig Venter
Most people don't realize it, because they're invisible, but microbes make up about a half of the Earth's biomass, whereas all animals only make up about one one-thousandth of all the biomass.
— Craig Venter
I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment.
— Craig Venter
Transposons are just small pieces of DNA that randomly insert in the genetic code. And if they insert in the middle of the gene, they disrupt its function.
— Craig Venter
Your age is your No. 1 risk factor for almost every disease, but it's not a disease itself.
— Craig Venter
We have trouble feeding, providing fresh, clean water, medicines, fuel for the six and a half billion. It's going to be a stretch to do it for nine.
— Craig Venter
People equate patents with secrecy, that secrecy is what patents were designed to overcome. That's why the formula for Coca-Cola was never patented. They kept it as a trade secret, and they've outlasted patent laws by 80 years or more.
— Craig Venter
We find all kinds of species that have taken up a second chromosome or a third one from somewhere, adding thousands of new traits in a second to that species. So, people who think of evolution as just one gene changing at a time have missed much of biology.
— Craig Venter
There are enzymes called restriction enzymes that actually digest DNA.
— Craig Venter
There is a long history of how DNA sequencing can bring certainty to people's lives.
— Craig Venter
Life was so cheap in Vietnam. That is where my sense of urgency comes from.
— Craig Venter
Accuracy in the genetic field will be essential. Errors in testing could be disastrous.
— Craig Venter
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.
— Craig Venter
Every single cancer is a genetic disease. Not necessarily inherited from your parents, but it's genetic changes which cause cancer. So as we sequence the genomes of tumours and compare those to the sequence of patients, we're getting down to the fundamental basis of each individual person's cancer.
— Craig Venter
Companies, cities, and potentially even individuals could have a small refinery to make their own fuel.
— Craig Venter
You'd need a very specialized electron microscope to get down to the level to actually see a single strand of DNA.
— Craig Venter
We can create new ways to create clean water.
— Craig Venter
A doctor can save maybe a few hundred lives in a lifetime. A researcher can save the whole world.
— Craig Venter
My complaint is that there are more books and news articles than there are primary scientific papers. I am probably the biggest critic of the hypesters, because it's dangerous when fields get overhyped.
— Craig Venter
I've gotten some pretty nice awards. I'm having trouble finding places to put them all.
— Craig Venter
It turns out synthesizing DNA is very difficult. There are tens of thousands of machines around the world that make small pieces of DNA - 30 to 50 letters in length - and it's a degenerate process, so the longer you make the piece, the more errors there are.
— Craig Venter
Nobel prizes are very special prizes, and it would be great to get one.
— Craig Venter
If I could change the science system, my prescription for changing the whole thing would be organising it around big goals and building teams to do it.
— Craig Venter
One of the fundamental discoveries I made about myself - early enough to make use of it - was that I am driven to seize life and to understand it. The motor that pushes me is propelled by more than scientific curiosity.
— Craig Venter
When you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design.
— Craig Venter
We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it. That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before.
— Craig Venter
The fact that I have a risk genetically for Alzheimer's and blindness is not great news. But the reality is that any one of us will have dozens of these risks, and what we have to learn is how to deal with them.
— Craig Venter
I think I'm a survivor. I could have suffered at least 100 professional deaths. I could come up with a list of the 100 times I've come closest to death, from having pneumonia as a child to car crashes.
— Craig Venter
I suppose if there's a set of genes I have, it's detesting authority.
— Craig Venter
The Janus-like nature of innovation - its responsible use and so on - was evident at the very birth of human ingenuity, when humankind first discovered how to make fire on demand.
— Craig Venter
Synthetic biology can help address key challenges facing the planet and its population. Research in synthetic biology may lead to new things such as programmed cells that self-assemble at the sites of disease to repair damage.
— Craig Venter
Since my own genome was sequenced, my software has been broadcast into space in the form of electromagnetic waves, carrying my genetic information far beyond Earth. Whether there is any creature out there capable of making sense of the instructions in my genome, well, that's another question.
— Craig Venter
I turned 65 last year, and each year I get more and more interested in human health. For most people it happens around age 50, but I've always been a slow learner. It's critical in terms of the cost of health care.
— Craig Venter
One of the things about genetics that has become clearer as we've done genomes - as we've worked our way through the evolutionary tree, including humans - is that we're probably much more genetic animals than we want to confess we are.
— Craig Venter
We have 200 trillion cells, and the outcome of each of them is almost 100 percent genetically determined. And that's what our experiment with the first synthetic genome proves, at least in the case of really simple bacteria. It's the interactions of all those separate genetic units that give us the physiology that we see.
— Craig Venter
The future of society is 100% dependent on scientific advances.
— Craig Venter
We can do genetics. We can do experiments on fruit flies. We can do experiments on yeast. It's not so easy to do experiments on humans. So, in fact, it helps us, to interpret our own genetic code, to have the genetic code of the other species.
— Craig Venter
Each part of our genome is unique. We would not be alive if there was not a single mathematical solution for our chromosomes. We would just be scrambled goo.
— Craig Venter
I've made money by just trying to do world-class science. That's the goal that we're setting at Celera. If we do world-class science and create new medicine paradigms, the money will more than follow at a corporate level and at a personal level.
— Craig Venter
I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet.
— Craig Venter
Darwin didn't walk around the Galapagos and come up with the theory of evolution. He was exploring, collecting, making observations. It wasn't until he got back and went through the samples that he noticed the differences among them and put them in context.
— Craig Venter
I have an unusual type of thinking. I have no visual memory whatsoever. Everything is conceptual to me.
— Craig Venter
I see, in the future, bioengineered almost everything you can imagine that we use.
— Craig Venter
I was a horrible student. I really hated school.
— Craig Venter
When you do cross-breeding of plants, you're doing this blind experiment where you're just mixing DNA of different types of cells and just seeing what comes out of it.
— Craig Venter
Knowing what your parents have gives you hints of things, but your genome is a totally unique combination of and interchange of DNA from your parents. There is no one else like you genetically.
— Craig Venter
