Eh, ok so there is no "gay gene" as such. But if they're trying to pretend that that's the end of the project, WTF are they talking about? All the inheritable diseases are completely understood now, and cures are on the way? Bigger wieners for any man now? The basic assumption of this article is ridiculous.

I'm no fan of "Will and Grace", but yes, the fundamental assumption of the article is that having a map of the genome, means understanding what every single gene does.

And we are so far from that, that it isn't even funny.

He might as well write that nearsightedness has no genetic basis, because we can't point to the gene that controls that, either.
