In fact, the human genome is less a script than a puzzle that gets harder the closer they look. Knowing the entire sequence — the order of all 3 billion or so of our DNA’s chemical building blocks, nearly fully deduced by the international Human Genome Project between 1990 and 2003 — hasn’t helped much. That investigation showed that barely 2% of the human genome consists
