    The Human Genome Has Now Been Mapped At The Smallest Level Possible

    For more than two decades, scientists have known the full sequence of the human genome, a catalogue of roughly three billion DNA letters that together encode everything from eye color to disease risk. That achievement reshaped biology, but it also left behind a lingering question that sequencing alone could not answer. Knowing the letters of…
