Aw crap, my bad, appreciate the correction. I thought they applied it in a novel way or something? Anyways Venter's business practice sucks.

yeah, from what i remember, they pioneered a form of it called double-barrel shotgun sequencing, where both ends of the sequenced DNA fragment are analyzed for overlap instead of just one.
