Eh, it's referring to base pair variations. The title is on the sensationalistic side when you consider how most lay people will interpret it.
The cool stuff people imagine about in response to the title won't happen until researchers finish figuring out regulatory regions in the DNA; and, how DNA interacts with itself and environment, both spatially and temporally. Regulatory regions are promoters, enhancers, silencers, and insulators, and impact gene expression and regulation.

The title refers to a large scientific collaboration that has succeeded in utilizing single-molecule sequencing technology that only matured in the last 3-5 years to sequence regions of the human genome that were previously unmapped, bringing the completeness of the mapping to 100%. That doesn't seem sensationalistic.
