It is a map of all humans and the DNA sequences that MAKE us human, and in turn, the various individuals that we are.
The "individualizing" sequences of which you speak (write) are the variations in the markers that determine hair, eye, skin color, height, etc.
They are also the markers that determine susceptibility to disease, deformations, mutation, etc.
But they are not the goal of the project.
We want to know what makes us, us, generally speaking, and then what changes to those markers makes us who we are individually.
I have the greatest of hopes for this project.
There may come a day, in the distant future, that a complete knowledge of human DNA and how to manipulate it to our benefit, may make the difference between our ability to colonize a planet or not.
( My science fiction persona speaking out! )
Likewise, someday, humanity free of inherited conditions or disease, with the ability to repair or replace ANY damaged limbs or organs without rejection concerns.
The possibilities are endless.
But they are not the goal of the project.
We want to know what makes us, us, generally speaking, and then what changes to those markers makes us who we are individually."
Yeah, that's what I said.
