1: Using the DNA Blast Program- http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi
type in the DNA sequence into the nucleotide blast. Choose the “Nucleotide blast”.
Under Database, make sure to choose “other”.
2: Using the results from the blast, type the organism name into google to find out what
organism you have. (Common Name)
Sample #A62498: Sitatunga
Sample #B77342: Plasmodium
Sample #C79942: Olive baboon
Sample #C80217: African bush elephant
Sample #C90034: Drill
Sample #D51210: Gorilla
Sample #G34176: Preuss's monkey
Sample #G54358: Greater cane rat
Sample #H64991: Western red colobus
Sample #I38722: Peters's duiker
Sample #K28831: Jentink's duiker
Sample #N51683: Bongo
Conclusion: Why is it important to know the genome of an organism? How does it help us to identify endangered and threatened species?
It is important to know this because you can buy meat from an endangered species and you wont know it is from an endangered species because they might tell you its from cow or another animal
