Song of Himself: Genetic researcher J. Greg Venter is still mapping his DNA, but is close to publishing it in what must be the most complete autobiography ever:

Institute staffers are close to finishing an almost complete readout of Dr. Venter's DNA. The biologist plans to release his genetic code to the world through a computer database, and last week finished a 469-page draft of an autobiography discussing his days as a medic in Vietnam, his two divorces, and what he's found in his DNA. He's chosen the title, "A Life Decoded."
