Eventually, even his bitterest critics had to face the fact that Venter had not been dealing in hype. And, in the end, the genome project was forced to adopt some of Venter's ideas to avoid being left behind. "It was," admits Watson, "the correct way to go." Thanks to Venter's maverick ways, says Phillip Sharp, director of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "we have the human genome four years early, and it's spectacular. Craig is to be applauded for doing this...
