Thread: Sequence-based phenotype prediction

When do you think it would be possible to predict the phenotype of an organism knowing just its sequence??

Yes.

In 100+ years time.

Pretty good at doing this to-day, in bacteria. Here's a genotype, many here can predict the phenotype:

JM109: endA1 glnV44 thi-1 relA1 gyrA96 recA1 mcrB+ Δ(lac-proAB)

ya, but if i gave you an unknown genome sequence can you draw me a picture of the organism?
