A Life Decoded: My Genome: My Life

The autobiography of the clever chap who won the race to decode the human genome. At times it's pretty hard-going as he really gets into the detail of the politics between the competing bodies in the race, and some of the science becomes a bit difficult to follow, leaving the storytelling as a bit of an afterthought. Still worth a read - just be ready to skip good-sized chunks every now and again.
