...programs to analyze the amino-acid sequences to reconstruct the evolutionary origins of this year's virus.

If the two phylogenetic trees were similar, Yi explained (and Zhong concurred), it would confirm that the disease was again afoot and, in this case, was certainly related to the wild-animal markets. The Guangzhou officials agreed. The new case's sequences were sent and the men drank tea and smoked while waiting for Yi's lab to complete the computer modeling...
...beloved might be due to decreased brain activity of some type of serotonin. I also knew these three compounds were much more prevalent in some brain regions than in others. If I could establish which regions of the brain become active while one is feeling romantic rapture, that might confirm which primary chemicals are involved.

With a planet already inhabited with millions suffering from disease, hunger, poverty, and illiteracy, why would we spend billions to confirm Mars' atmospheric and sedimentary traits? It's red and full of dirt; that's great to know. How about that money be spent to feed people or provide health coverage for those who can't afford it, or better yet, lets teach people to read. Now those are grand goals and ideas which we should be exploring. This...
