Abstract
Two decades after its original publication, a new human genome sequence has just been published. Far from being an incremental improvement, it is at last really complete, covering each chromosome from one end to the other, with full elucidation of repeated sequences and an extremely low error rate. This is a major advance that tremendously increases our knowledge of our genome and will lead to important scientific and clinical developments.
