On today's news that the human genome has been sequenced with a pocket device, here's my feature on what the world looks like when such devices are commonplace

I’d really like to see a solid feature on what the hell “sequencing” actually means and whether it implies 0.01% or 99.9% of knowledge of genetic code. I have a feeling it bears as much relation to reading the genome as kindergarten literacy does to writing C++ OS code.
Yeah, it's just reading the actual dna sequences as I understand. No guarantee we have any idea what any of it means. More and more specific genes are understood but overall system understanding hard. /cc
