Since that time, the genome sequences of many important human  pathogens,          such as M. tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, Campylobacter           jejuni, Helicobacter pylori, Vibrio cholerae,  and Legionella          pneumophila have been determined.

permalink The common chimp (Pan troglodytes) and human Y chromosomes are “horrendously different from each other”, says David Page of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the work. “It looks like there’s been a dramatic renovation or reinvention of the Y chromosome in the chimpanzee and human lineages.” [..] “The Y is full of surprises,” Page says. “When we sequenced the chimp genome people thought we’d understand why we have language and write poetry. But one of the most dramatic differences turns out to be sperm production.”

The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.
