Author: Jonathan Eisen

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis

One thought on “For those interested … storification of twitter discussion criticizing NY Times article on Venter cell model”

  1. While I agree that the NYT article was particularly hype-filled, all these “Well, it is Craig Venter” style comments are misplaced — only two of the nine authors of the paper were from JCVI, neither of them were Craig, and they weren't even quoted in the article.
