Venter, J. Craig: A Life Decoded

In June 2000, for the first time in human history, scientists were able to unravel the mysteries contained within our genetic code. Craig Venter is the brilliant maverick who had made this happen. And since then, he has gone on to decode the whole of his own genome, the first complete genome of any single human being. In A LIFE DECODED he tells his extraordinary life story: a tale that includes presidents, prime ministers and kings, princes of capitalism and science, but also a voyage of discovery through Venter's self-examination, his scientific accomplishments and his own genetic code.
