genome sequence
Complete DNA readout
A genome sequence is the complete ordered list of nucleotide bases—the chemical letters A, T, G, and C—that make up an organism's DNA.
Sequencing a genome means determining this precise order, which reveals genetic information about heredity, disease risk, and evolutionary relationships.
The Human Genome Project published its first complete genome sequence in 2003.
