Recombinant DNA combines genetic material from different sources, creating sequences that are unique and new to the genome. The DNA sequences used in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules can originate from any species, such as human, fungal, bacterial, and plants. 1   [Read More](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/a-closer-look-at-the-fundamentals-of-recombinant-dna-technology) --- [![shutterstock_676814725 copy](https://blog.abclonal.com/hubfs/shutterstock_676814725%20copy.jpg)](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/can-the-4.7-billion-earth-biogenome-project-sustain-itself) Nov 29, 2018, 6:33:00 PM       by [Michele Mei](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/author/michele-mei) ## [Can the $4.7 billion Earth BioGenome Project Sustain Itself?](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/can-the-4.7-billion-earth-biogenome-project-sustain-itself) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) In the last *What’s Hot in Life *blog post, we discussed how next generation sequencing (NGS) is [used as a basis for understanding disease](https://blog.abclonal.com/blog/how-next-generation-sequencing-changed-disease-research). This week I wanted to talk about DNA sequencing again, but in a completely different context. On November 1st, scientists launched an ambitious project to sequence all 1.5 million complex species on Earth. Their purpose? To save biodiversity.

Usually, the claim is based on knowledge of personality and common interests between you and the potential Mr./Mrs. Perfect. However, in the past two decades[scientists](http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/260/1359/245.short) have suggested a more innate predictor to attractiveness – genetics. More specifically, alleles in the[human leukocyte antigens](https://youtu.be/YVer3lUv6HQ?t=42s) (HLA) genomic region.
