Answer:

These bases provide the underlying genetic basis (the genotype) for telling a cell what to do, where to go and what kind of cell to become (the phenotype).

Whole genome sequencing is a lot like weather forecasting. It doesn't predict exactly what will happen, but gives you the chances of something happening. This means that it will tell you more about your risk for a certain disease, like diabetes, not if you have diabetes or not.
