Good, cause I'm starting to look for a job.

Howdy again,

Regarding multiple releases of the human genome:

In some ways this is a good thing, because, in theory, newer releases
improve upon the previous.

And...well...they create greater need for bioinformatics professionals
such as ourselves.

Also, think about how the human genome is assembled. At every stage,
decisions must be made. Are they the best? And for what purpose?

And remember .... someday soon the $1,000 genome sequence will be upon
us. How will we handle *that* ?

How we will we handle the inevitable deletions, duplications, and
(easy!) single-base pair changes these data will introduce into our
vision of the genome?
