It was isolated from a bacterium called thermus aquaticus and is the primary enzyme used in PCR (polymerase chain reaction, something that is able to amplify small bits of DNA into an amount that we can measure and study. This is the same reaction that is done for crime scene investigation and forensics). I love science. See below for some other really cool biology sculptures:
