The Human Genome Project has not cured any diseases yet--but it's
revolutionizing science in surprising ways
By MICHAEL D. LEMONICK
It may seem as if J. Craig Venter is on an extended vacation as he
sails his 95-ft. luxury yacht on a 25,000-mile voyage around the world.
But the iconoclastic scientist who took on a consortium of national
governments in a race to map the human genome--and fought them to a
photo finish five years ago--is actually hard at work. He's
prospecting--not for gold but for DNA, applying the same techniques
developed to decode human genes to the genes of microbes scooped from
the ocean and out of the air. On a pilot voyage, through the Sargasso
Sea in the North Atlantic, he found more than 1,800 new species of
bacteria and viruses--a surprise, since he had always thought of the
Sargasso as a biological desert, relatively devoid of life.
