The reported accuracy rate of 99.3% for a single chip does not translate to 99.3% accuracy for an entire genome.
Complex genomes are particularly difficult to measure at the edges of chromosomes and in areas of large redundant information (genomic 'repetitive' regions). The claim of 99.3% is stating that only the relatively easy to measure regions produce the reported levels of accuracy.
