by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted September 5, 2007 in Personalities with DNA
CNN is covering Dr. J Craig Venter’s genome extensively. Over at Anderson Cooper Blog 360, Dr. J. Craig Venter blogs about his DNA. CNN also reports that Dr. Venter’s genome shows he has genes that are linked to blindness, alcoholism, lactose intolerance, substance abuse, hypertension, obesity. (Don’t we all….) And in a video segment, Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains to CNN viewers the importance of Venter’s genome.
The DNA Network is also abuzz with Venter talk.
