The triumphant memoir of the man behind one of the greatest feats
in scientific history
Of all the scientific achievements of the past century, perhaps
none can match the deciphering of the human genetic code, both for
its technical brilliance and for its implications for our future.
In "A Life Decoded," J. Craig Venter traces his rise from an
uninspired student to one of the most fascinating and controversial
figures in science today. Here, Venter relates the unparalleled
drama of the quest to decode the human genome?a goal he predicted
he could achieve years earlier and more cheaply than the
government-sponsored Human Genome Project, and one that he
fulfilled in 2001. A thrilling story of detection, "A Life Decoded"
is also a revealing, and often troubling, look at how science is
practiced today.
