Task 1: Three reasons for sequencing non-humans:

1.
2.
3.
  1. To study evolutionary relationships.
  2. To study disease transmitting and causing organisms e.g. Malaria.
  3. To conserve species in the future.

Use the word bank below to complete the mind map that shows how sequencing is being used to tackle Malaria.

Anopheles Gambiae mosquito Insecticide Insecticide resistance Restore insecticide susceptibility Parasite Plasmodium sp. Anti-malarial drugs Plasmodium evolved resistance to drugs. Create more effective drugs.
