We kinda did that for the genome

This is so much more complex than the HGP

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Very true. Even though we have more advanced data tools and everything, it would still be orders of magnitude more difficult

The genome is so much more complicated than... itself?

No, genetic. There's epigenetics and looks like the histone has an influence too. HGP was only the start.

Which was so much more complex than mapping the GI track, but people were robbing graves for centuries trying to work that one out.
