from the university of sydney. why is it important to carry out gene sequencing such as i have described? what does it actually tell you? one of the key things we have come to realise with any type of genetic diversity is the more diversity as bt has, the greater potential they have to adapt to future changes. so a lot of people understand and know about the biodiversity crisis that the planet now finds itself in, and there are three main pillars to biodiversity. one is having lots of differences on lots of diversity, diversity in ecosystems, lots of different type of species, and the third pillar is really the diversity of genes, and there has been a really hard one for us to get an understanding of because the technology did not exist, but when the human zeno was published over 20 years ago, that really opened up a whole new field of science that we are now applying to a suite of
