Answer

Prokaryotes such as Rhizobium, SARS and E. coli have had their genomes sequenced. This provides biologists insight on the impact these organisms have on humans. For example, sequencing the genomes of SARS has alerted us of several proteins that are possible targets for antiviral medication or vaccination, offering us potential methods of fighting outbreak.
