sampling is a high resolution photo with large holes in it, a full sequencing is a full photograph with varying resolution and quality etc. There are still some areas of the genome that are inaccessible even with full sequencing. Improvements are being made with long read sequencing.
They are comparing a low resolution map the genome. The genome is 3+ billion nucleotides, only 700,000 (0.0002%) is being compared to find 0.04% difference! that is shockingly similar!
