基本説明
邦訳・化学同人 2008年12月出版。ヒトゲノム計画を推進したCerela Genomics社の設立者、Craig Venter自身によるゲノム研究と自身のゲノム解読に挑んだ理由を語る。
The triumphant true story of the man who achieved one of the greatest feats of our era - the mapping of the human genome. Venter tells of the unparalleled drama of the quest for the human genome, a tale that involves as much politics (personal and political) as science. He also reveals how he went on to be the first to read and interpret his own genome and what it will mean for all of us to do the same.
Full Description
Craig Venter is no ordinary scientist, and no ordinary man. He is the first human being ever to read their own DNA - and see the key to life itself. Yet in doing so, he rocked the establishment and became embroiled in one of the biggest controversies of our age.
This is the story of his incredible life: from teenage rebel and Vietnam medic, to daredevil sailor and maverick researcher, whose race to unravel the sequence of the human genome made him both hero and pariah. Incorporating his own genetic make-up into his story, this is an electrifying portrait of a man who pushed back the boundaries of the possible.
