Abstract
We live in the age of genomics and have discovered hundreds of thousands of genes of which we understand almost nothing: genomics has failed biology. We need to understand what genes do, something that we have stopped studying. Parasites are different from free-living species, and so they will have genes with novel functions, which we will only discover by studying this directly, not by doing genomics.Keywords: genomics; knock-out; parasites
