If you get a new DNA sequence that youve
never seen before, you can compare it to all the
other sequences on the database. If its something
thats unrecognized, then it might be a new
species or it might be population variation within
existing species. You dont know. But comparing
the DNA gives you extra information about the diversity
thats out there.David Johnston,
