Celera Corporation
Celera is a subsidiary of Quest Diagnostics which focuses on genetic sequencing and related technologies. It was founded in 1998 as a business unit of Applera, spun off into an independent company in 2008, and finally acquired by Quest Diagnostics in 2011.
History
Originally headquartered in Rockville, Maryland (relocated to Alameda, California), it was established in May 1998 by PE Corporation (later renamed to Applera), with Dr. J. Craig Venter from The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) as its first president. While at TIGR, Venter and Hamilton Smith led the first successful effort to sequence an entire organism's genome, that of the Haemophilus influenzae bacterium. Celera was formed for the purpose of generating and commercializing genomic information to accelerate the understanding of biological processes. Its stock is a tracking stock of Applera, along with the tracking stock of Applera's larger Applied Biosystems Group business unit.
Celera sequenced the human genome at a fraction of the cost of the public project, approximately $3 billion of taxpayer dollars versus about $300 million of private funding. However, a significant portion of the human genome had already been sequenced when Celera entered the field, and thus Celera did not incur any costs with obtaining the existing data, which was freely available to the public from GenBank. Celera's use of the shotgun strategy spurred the public HGP to change its own strategy, leading to a rapid acceleration of the public effort.

Black Serenade
by: SlayerTerrorize, frozen eyes
Stare deep in me
Paralyzed, inside
Death breeds on your pain
Pretty lace lie in hate
You wear my scars
Terrified, you find
That you push me too far
Your repulsiveness reminds me
Of dead flesh
Rotting corpse
The smell of your putrid fucking soul
Petrified that I decide
The moment of your death
Belongs to me, the taste is sweet
It's so unreal
Your God weeps, it bleeds
It begs for me
God is letting you recover
Welcome to my black serenade
The entrance to my hell, your pain
Scream your song, the black serenade
Live in fear, a mind insane
Voice inside my head
Your face still shows itself to me
Telling me you're dead
Staring at your lifeless body
I saw you fucking die
My mind's tearing itself apart
Screaming from the inside
Release this pain from my fucking heart
Destroy the empty shell
Smash away the haunting fear
I hate your endless stare
Watching as I fuck your corpse
Welcome to my black serenade
The entrance to my hell, your pain
Walk on through a tortured mind
You'll scream your song in time
Welcome to my black serenade
The entrance to my hell, your pain
Flesh is burnt, the black serenade
Live in fear, no coming back
Welcome to my black serenade
The entrance to my hell, your pain
Walk on through a tortured mind
You'll scream your song in time
Welcome to my black serenade
The entrance to my hell, your pain
Flesh is burnt, the black serenade
