- Synopsis
- Biologist Craig Venter founded the company Celera in an effort to decode the human genome before the U. S. government's Human Genome Project, expecting to get very rich in the process. This book chronicles the company's work in the 1990s, looking at the economic, political, scientific, and institutional rivalries and competitions that eventually led to the company's eventual implosion.
