As if proposing a unique method of cracking the human genetic code wasn't enough, Dr. Craig Venter has his eyes set on an even greater prize: decoding the sea. Viewers join The Science Channel as we climb aboard his 95-ft ship, Sorcerer, for the voyage of a lifetime in Cracking the Ocean Code. Dr. Venter believes that scientists have only scratched the surface in their understanding of ocean life. Looking to understand new tools for predicting weather or discovering a new bio-energy source, this modern day Darwin hopes to crack the DNA code of every organism in the ocean.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
