18 blurred. Stetter, one of the world’s leading experts on extremophilic archaebacteria, is a co-founder of Diversa. Craig Venter, founder of Celera Genomics, launched the Sorcerer II Expedition in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 2003, to create a genomic catalogue of marine microorganisms. The expedition, now situated off the east coast of Australia, has already shown insights into the diversity and abundance of organisms in samples from the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda (Venter et al, 2004). Melanie Wranaker, media contact at the J. Craig Venter Institute (Rockville, MD, USA), said that the research includes the study of extreme environment sites, such as hydrothermal warm seeps, hypersaline lagoons and low-oxygen environments, which may be similar to deep-sea environments and therefore useful for comparative studies. All data collected will be deposited into the public domain for researchers. The Ocean Genome Legacy (OGL) is another non-profit marine research organization that explores the abundance of life in the deep sea. Their headquarters are located in Ipswich, MA, USA, near NEB, from which the organization receives financial support.
