Scientists ... hope that being able to study the entire genome sequence will help them understand how the genome as a whole works — how genes work together to direct the growth, development and maintenance of an entire organism. … The whole genome [cannot] be sequenced all at once because available methods of DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] sequencing can only handle short stretches of DNA at a time. … scientists must break the genome into small pieces, sequence the pieces, and then reassemble them in the proper order to arrive at the sequence of the whole genome.
