From David Steane again (Message 8).

I, too, agree with John Gibson's assessment of the situation. That is precisely why I am suggesting that the importance of genomics in the context of real contributions to sustainable agriculture depends on obtaining more comprehensive data than that used in the simplistic, naive schemes being used at the present time. The information on environmental conditions is crucial to any understanding of the genetic performance - sequencing offers an opportunity to find such links.
