Each person’s DNA comprises about six billion letters of code. Less than 1% of this code differs from one person to the next. These small differences contribute to each person’s uniqueness and can provide insights about their health and diseases. Whenever a new genome is sequenced, scientists rely on the reference human genome as a […]
