It is vital for diagnosing (genetic) disease and vital for health care, diagnosing by symptom is crude. the gene allows us to predict prior to onset giving you warning about what you should and shouldn't be doing to live a healthy life.
Could also find out what code you have that's unique to you.
Interesting clip where Dawkins learns about his genome and the 100 "ticking time bomb" mutations in his code. Only 5 minutes long and starts 39 minutes in.
Edit : acting like it's not important for bacterial and viruses that cause disease, and dosage too. as well as future benefits from epigenetics and evo-devo.
