Amiga

Amiga is a family of personal computers introduced by Commodore in 1985.

See Jim Kent and Amiga

Atari ST

Atari ST is a line of personal computers from Atari Corporation and the successor to the company's 8-bit home computers.

See Jim Kent and Atari ST

Autodesk Animator

Autodesk Animator is a 2D computer animation and painting program published in 1989 for MS-DOS.

Benjamin Franklin Award (Bioinformatics)

The Benjamin Franklin Award is an annual award for Open Access in the Life Sciences presented by Bioinformatics.org to an individual who has, in his or her practice, promoted free and open access to the materials and methods used in the life sciences.

See Jim Kent and Benjamin Franklin Award (Bioinformatics)

BLAT (bioinformatics)

BLAT (BLAST-like alignment tool) is a pairwise sequence alignment algorithm that was developed by Jim Kent at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) in the early 2000s to assist in the assembly and annotation of the human genome.

See Jim Kent and BLAT (bioinformatics)

Celera Corporation

Celera is a subsidiary of Quest Diagnostics which focuses on genetic sequencing and related technologies.

See Jim Kent and Celera Corporation

Comparative genomics

Comparative genomics is a branch of biological research that examines genome sequences across a spectrum of species, spanning from humans and mice to a diverse array of organisms from bacteria to chimpanzees.

See Jim Kent and Comparative genomics

David Haussler

David Haussler (born 1953) is an American bioinformatician known for his work leading the team that assembled the first human genome sequence in the race to complete the Human Genome Project and subsequently for comparative genome analysis that deepens understanding the molecular function and evolution of the genome. Jim Kent and David Haussler are American bioinformaticians and human Genome Project scientists.

ENCODE

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) is a public research project which aims "to build a comprehensive parts list of functional elements in the human genome." ENCODE also supports further biomedical research by "generating community resources of genomics data, software, tools and methods for genomics data analysis, and products resulting from data analyses and interpretations." The current phase of ENCODE (2016-2019) is adding depth to its resources by growing the number of cell types, data types, assays and now includes support for examination of the mouse genome.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See Jim Kent and Genome

Hawaii

Hawaii (Hawaii) is an island state of the United States, in the Pacific Ocean about southwest of the U.S. mainland.

See Jim Kent and Hawaii

Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying, mapping and sequencing all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint. Jim Kent and human Genome Project are human Genome Project scientists.
