- About Jim Kent and Kent Informatics, Inc.
- As a graduate student at the University of California Santa Cruz, Jim Kent made national headlines in June, 2000 when he performed the public project human genome assembly hours ahead of Celera, helping to keep our collective DNA out of patent disputes for years to come. Jim went on to write BLAT and the UCSC Human Genome Browser to help analyze this important data. Jim received his PhD in Biology in 2002. He is currently a research scientist at UCSC where he helps maintain and upgrade the browser, and has worked on recent projects such as comparitive genomics and Parasol, job control management software for the UCSC kilocluster.
