NPR did a story yesterday on a new play about Venter and Collins: “The Sequence.” Seems kind of interesting; they made a specific note that the playwright really incorporates technical science into the play rather than glossing over the actual specifics. Evidently, the actor playing Venter actually explains the shotgun sequencing technique. The play is in LA (in readings). – Art Caplan
