FRED F**KIN' SANGER!!!!

The terminal peptides of insulin.
Biochem J. 1949;45(5):563-74.

Determination of nucleotide sequences in DNA.

Biosci Rep. 1981 Jan;1(1):3-18.

Why is this SUPER COOL?!
 Fred Sanger is the man who made a revolution possible. When you think REVOLUTION you think Che Guevara, Simon Bolivar, Confederates, Bastille Day, and piles of bodies. Sanger was the man who figured out how to sequence first proteins and then DNA!! He initiated a revolution that has washed over all of us!!
 His contributions led to discovering archaea! His contributions were modified to sequence our GENOME!!! He may have had a huge effect on diabetics...because he figured out the amino acid sequence of insulin and compared it to that of other animals and found them to be very similar...not sure on this one, but I THINK IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED!!
 Were scientists to immortalized like law-makers, Sanger would have to be given a monument that size of Atlanta, Georgia with DNA looking machines constantly whipping around a monolithic stature of a MAN CHOKING THE ENIGMAS OF NATURE!! It would be so gargantuan that it would be a city and every person would be a scientist with a Ph.D. and their research would be to OPTIMIZE THE HUMAN GENOME!! I don't know if Sanger was big into eugenics, so don't take that to heart.

Am I wrong? A misinterpretation of the data? Questions about what is what? Let me know.
