If the cost of sequencing a human genome can drop to $1,000 or below, experts say it would start to become feasible to tell what diseases people might be at risk for.

The first detailed map of a man's  genes shows the genetic code is even more complex than anyone  thought. For instance, science still cannot pinpoint what makes  a person's eyes blue.

A LIFE DECODED My Genome: My Life By J. Craig Venter Viking. 390 pp. $25.95 We already know some things about J. Craig Venter: for example, that the self-styled renegade biologist and genome sequencer has little patience for governmental or academic bureaucracy. There are also the biological deta...
