Whatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 percent of our genetic (遗传的) structure with the simple worm.
But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome (染色体组).
To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode (线虫类的) worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and
what can be done to make it better.
What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded i
A. The theory of programmed cell deaths.
B. A great scientist-Sir John Sulston.
C. The programmed human life.
D. Dangerous diseases.
