That was about sequencing DNA. It was known how to sequence DNA before the Human Genome Project started. It just cost too much and was too slow. That was a production scaling problem.
If we ever get to a mouse brain, it's just scaling from there - all the mammals have very similar DNA. We don't know how to make even a good lizard brain yet. Or even a full insect nervous system.
