I'm not really sure what it even means to be 100% sequenced.
Does that mean that every possible polymorphism is accounted for?
Does that mean that 100% of possible polymorphic sites are known?
What about weird edge cases. You have a tandem repeat that is known, but in some small population of humans, there's two tandem repeats with an island of something else in there.
