Francis Collins, former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute and author of The Language of God (Free Press, 2006), led the successful effort to complete the Human Genome Project, a complex multidisciplinary scientific enterprise that identified the genes in human DNA and determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs of which it is composed.
