Craig Venter's epic voyage to redefine the origin of species: he wanted to play God, so he cracked the human genome. Now he wants to play Darwin and collect the DNA of everything on the planet

Article Abstract:

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.
