• Resumen

  • Despite the risks, hunter-gatherers will soon be in high demand as an audacious scheme gets under way. This biological "moonshot", known as the Earth BioGenome Project, is scheduled to launch in June. Its mission is to sequence the genomes of all known species of flora and fauna on Earth. Nature's recipe books could hold clues to making far superior medicines, materials, biofuels and crops, unravelling our evolutionary past and help us to be better custodians of our planet.
