Given the amount of things we don't know about DNA, I would not put my trust in this kind of endeavour. Just look at the fast developing area of epigenetics, or the simple fact that many studies appear not to be replicable, or the fact that when money is involved groups tend to paint a certain picture that may not necessarily be accurate. The genome project was a hyped up affair and its results nowhere near as revolutionary as people made out to be in advance. Meanwhile, the downsides of large scale DNA testing are potentially chilling. Given how 'kindly' organisations treat sensitive information, there's no basis for this kind of trust.
