| Summary: | Craig Venter is an unlikely-looking business tycoon. He seems happier talking about the scientific challenges that his business faces than the profits it will make. But Venter has been tipped as the Bill Gates of the twenty-first century. Human DNA, the molecule in every human cell that contains the genetic code determining our development, consists of three billion chemical bases arranged in a set order. Venter's company, Celera, is working on a map of that special sequence. But Venter is not only a man with a scientific vision, he's a man in a hurry. He's in competition with the Human Genome project, a charity-funded British project with the same aim. Can you be a Nobel prizewinner and a billionaire? |
