In 1846 the USA annexed the state of California. On 9 July 1846, USS Portsmouth sailed into San Francisco Bay and sailors and marines went ashore and raised the US flag. The little settlement of Yerba Buena was renamed San Francisco (after the bay) on 30 January 1847. At that time San Francisco only had a population of about 800. In 1848 news of the discovery of gold in the area reached New York. As a result people went to San Francisco by the thousands, and the population boomed. In 1849 the population of San Francisco reached 25,000.

Humane Genomics is building an AI-based process that turns genetic and other molecular information about a cancer into custom-made medicines.

In late 2017 they received a $500,000 seed grant from Deloitte Life Sciences and Health Care.The company collaborates with veterinarian Dr. Bruce Smith at Auburn University who previously worked with Autodesk and Gen9 to synthesize the longest virus in 2016 for his research focused on treating dogs with osteosarcoma.

Establishments in the Manufacturing sector are often described as plants, factories, or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and material handling equipment. However, establishments that transform materials or substances into new products by hand or in the worker's home and those engaged in selling to the general public products made on the same premises from which they are sold, such as bakeries, candy stores, and custom tailors, may also be included in this sector. Manufacturing establishments may process materials or may contract with other establishments to process their materials for them. Both types of establishments are included in manufacturing.
