Decoded cDNA began tumbling out of his machine. A portion of these decoded regions were used as tags--he called them expressed sequence tags (ESTs)--to help scientists distinguish one gene from another and identify related genes even in other species.

In June 1991, when Venter published his first paper based on this work, scientists had identified only about 4,000 genes, each one representing years of painstaking labor. In one day, Venter added...

Geraldine Ferraro pitched in too: she worked the phones, calling Representatives Connie Morella of Maryland and Tillie Fowler of Florida for some girl talk. To the buttoned...
