Genetics or genomics research institutions Genetics or genomics research institutions The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) was founded in 1998. It achieved international prominence as a center for sequencing the human genome. BGI completed one percent of the human genome for the Human Genome Project. ...more on Wikipedia about "Beijing Genomics Institute"

The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) is an organization involved in the Human Genome Project, a project about mapping the human genome. HUGO was established in 1989 as an international organization. The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee ( HGNC ) is assigning a unique gene name and symbol to each human gene. ...more on Wikipedia about "Human Genome Organisation"
The J. Craig Venter Institute is a non-profit genomics research institute founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. in 2004. (Venter first announced the existence of the Institute on 29 September 2004.) The Institute was the result of consolidating three organizations: the Center for the Advancement of Genomics, the Institute for Biological Energy Alternatives, and the J. Craig Venter Science Foundation Joint Technology Center. The Institute studies the societal implications of genomics in addition to genomics itself. The Institute's research is said to involve genomic medicine; environmental genomic analysis; clean energy; synthetic biology; and ethics, law, and economics. The Institute employs two hundred employees and/or volunteers. ...more on Wikipedia about "J. Craig Venter Institute"

The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), is a non-profit genomics research institute founded in 1992 by Craig Venter in Rockville, Maryland, United States. TIGR sequenced the first genome of a free-living organism, the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, in 1995. This landmark project, led by TIGR scientist Robert Fleischmann, led to an explosion of genome sequencing projects, all using the whole-genome sequencing technique pioneered earlier but never used for a whole bacterium until TIGR's project. TIGR scientist Claire Fraser led the projects to sequence the second bacterium, Mycoplasma genitalium in 1996, and less than a year later TIGR's Carol Bult led the project to sequence the first genome of an Archaeal species, Methanoccus jannaschii. ...more on Wikipedia about "The Institute for Genomic Research"
