Synthetic Genomics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Synthetic Genomics is a company dedicated to using modified microorganisms to produce the alternative fuels ethanol and hydrogen. Synthetic Genomics was founded in part by J. Craig Venter. Venter's previous company, Celera Genomics, was a driving force in the race to sequence the Human Genome.
The firm takes its name from the phrase synthetic genomics which is the scientific discipline related to the generation of organisms artificially using genetic material.
