A genome contains all the genetic information needed to create and maintain an individual. Sequencing a genome helps scientists better understand genomes and their role in creating organisms. When scientists sequence a genome, they take an organism’s DNA and determine the order of its base pairs, which are coded by the letters A, C, T and G. These lettered pairs comprise the “rungs” of the ladder-like DNA double helix, which serves as an organism’s unique genetic blueprint.
