"That makes it less likely to be lost." Less likely, but not impossible...
...Institute Director Eric Lander described DNA sequencing as “transforming biology and medicine by shedding light on such diverse problems as cancer, infectious disease, metabolic disease, gene regulation and evolution.” Because DNA carries all of the biological information that defines an organism, a more in-depth understanding of the genomic sequence, such as how it differs for different organisms and for various genetic diseases such as cancer, stands to revolutionize our approach to human health...
