Two projects where sequence data has revealed insights into biological systems that have otherwise proven difficult to study include; the symbiotic relationship between a microbial community and a gutless worm and a 4000-year-old Neanderthal. Analysis of the worm data has revealed the mechanisms by which the worm was able to outsource waste and energy management to the associated microbes. In the Neanderthal study, deep sequencing and analysis of genomic DNA extracted from bones of a 40,000-year-old hominid is demonstrating that analytically significant quantities of ancient genomic sequence can be obtained and revealed the evolutionary relationship between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
