``When scientists at Celera Genomics announced two years ago that they had decoded the human genome, they said the genetic data came from anonymous donors and presented it as a universal human map. But the scientist who led the effort, Dr. J. Craig Venter, now says that the genome decoded was largely his own.
``Dr. Venter also says that he started taking fat-lowering drugs after analyzing his genes. Reactions among scientists range from amusement to indifference, most saying that it is unimportant whose genome was sequenced. But members of Celera's scientific advisory board expressed disappointment that Dr. Venter subverted the anonymous selection process that they had approved.''
