Of course I recognize the potential of this technology; I wouldn't be in this field otherwise. And I probably am jaded, because I think people are constantly overemphasizing and overplaying our understanding of things in order to sound sexy and attract funding.
I think there's probably a fifteen-year lag in this stuff being useful. The insights we're having now are because of the sequencing of the human genome; the work we're doing now will pay off in another decade and a half when we've figured out how to deal with gene expression.
>do the full genome sequences yet actually read every base in your genome even?
Read, sequence: yes. Align: no.
