30 Billion Base Pairs (Score 3, Insightful)

Someone has probably already pointed out that human DNA contains 3 billion base pairs and not 30 billion. It is a sad shame that a company as renown as Celera is overshadowed by blatant misinformation; even from former CEO Craig Venter who is known for calling archea a type of bacteria in the December 2004 issue of SCIENCE magazine. Mishaps like this further alienate the real intellectuals who would normally be capable of over-running the Internet towards an information rapture in the scientific community.
