To celebrate this exciting milestone for genome research at Inqaba biotec and on the continent, they are offering to sequence for free genomes of 5 different species important to the biodiversity in sub-Saharan Africa. To make this even more interesting they will sequence up to three different individuals of the selected species. This is important to make something meaningful out of these genome sequences. So it could be animals, plants, insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses and of course we consider humans part of the biodiversity as well.
While scientists are asked to submit proposals, the public is asked to vote for the most preferred species at the later stage.
