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...
