After J Craig Venter and John Sulston passed, now
@NobelPrize committee can conveniently consider the other three scientists, Francis Collins, Bob Waterston, and Eric Lander for the prize.
We lost a genome pioneer who single-handed beat the Human Genome Project. Yes, we all know the "joint effort" announcement was to save the government's face (given the billions $ and 13 years they spent on it).
Venter was an abrasive dick, but his general "we can just do things" attitude was transformative in modern genomics. He went against the plodding consensus, and succeeded time after time, first with EST sequencing, then with shotgun sequencing of bacteria and most famously with shotgun sequencing of flies and humans.
I will never forget sitting behind Francis Collins and Eric Lander (the chief honshos of the public human genome project) at the CSHL Biology of Genomes meeting in 1998 right when Venter's Celera was announced, and seeing them panicking because they knew he was going to succeed and make them look like fools (which, despite their massaging of the press, he ultimately did).
