title: Taxonomy becoming a driving force in genome sequencing projects.
abstract: We studied the possible impact of genomic projects by comparing the number of published articles before and after the completion of the project. We found that for most species, there is no significant change in the number of citations. Also our study remarks the growing importance of taxonomy as main motivation for the sequencing of genomes.
