Apparently humans don't share 99.9% of their DNA.
An Article tells us that researchers have done another map of the genome. And this time, it's different.
But to be fair, they did it a different way. Instead of looking at both chromosomes, they only looked at one. So if one looks at both sets, then there's a lot more difference.
This should be helpful in personalizing medicines to one's DNA. By having a more detailed map of their DNA, then they could make better medicine.
Still, to me, this is most interesting because now I know that I'm not really 99.9% like everyone else. I know, once again, that I am unique.
