#1  If you read far enough down the article you find these two gems...
"The package, which contained a 78-letter sequence of DNA, which is part of one of the smallpox virus's coat protein genes"
"the smallpox genome is 185,000 letters long"
So they got 0.04% of the genome -- i.e., this whole thing is just one more piece of crap from The Guardian. First they misrepresent themselves to get the goods, then they misrepresent the whole thing.
