Summary:

• **What is Genome Mapping?** Scientists are creating a detailed map of all the genes in a baby's DNA to find diseases before they cause problems. This helps doctors catch illnesses early and treat babies when they're newborns, which can save their lives and keep them healthy.

• **How Does It Help Babies?** By reading a baby's complete genetic code, doctors can discover if the baby might get sick from inherited diseases that run in families. This allows families to get special care and treatment right away, instead of waiting until the baby gets very sick later on.
