The 'as yet' in the following sentence has puzzled me. What does it mean?

In fact, was Storytelling itself complicit in the systematized murder—not just of soldiers—but also of innocent civilians whose only “crime” was the content of their as yet quantified, let alone unqualified, genetic material?

Please provide the source and author of the excerpt.
 
And double check it. Does it really say "quantified"?

"As yet" means "until now; so far". It doesn't work before quantified in the quoted text.
