genome project

[Keith Elliston]

Just one more thought on the whole genome initiative.....

Are we really justified in spending the large amount of $$ and time
that it will take to sequence the genome, when we are only interested
in the sequence of G's, A's, T's and C's???  Are we ready to ignore
any and all base modifications that occur?  Do we really know that
the only information that is important is the sequence of the four
bases, and not any other information.

I have not heard any address this issue.  Anyone want to give it a shot?
