Venter is using a faster but more risky method he calls "whole genome shotgunning." He clones a genome several times and then blasts the clones into 60 million bits, each between 2,000 and 10,000 letters long. Each fragment is then fed into a high-speed decoding robot. The next step, for Venter, is the most difficult. His robots e-mail their results to Celera's giant central database (said to represent more concentrated computing power than anywhere outside the Pentagon). These computers are using a sophisticated program to reassemble the genome fragments into the familiar 23 human chromosomes...

If D'Angelo is guilty of anything in this album, it's knowing that his music is seductive. Fact...
