In 1944 Avery demonstrated that DNA is the chemical equivalent of the then purely formal concept of genes. Considering the scientific developments during the remaining 20th century this was arguably the most important discovery in physiology or medicine of the century. Yet, he never received a Nobel prize, see Peter Reichard's account http://www.jbc.org/content/277/16/13355
