Craig Venter, the maverick biologist, is circling the globe collecting species, capturing their DNA on filter paper and shipping it to be sequenced and analyzed at his head quarters in Rockville, Maryland. His ultimate goal is to endow the man made organism with the genes to perform some specific environmental task.
