Humans share 99% of their genes but, according to JacobMcCauley, Ph.D., “that one percent can tell us a lot.”  The “1%” in genetic studies refers to the miniscule fraction of DNA that differentiates any two individuals but may be the key for understanding disease susceptibility.This small variation is leading to significant discoveries.
