Honest question from somebody that doesn't know any better, with the data from the HGP available for quite some time now, it doesn't appear to me (as a layperson) to have had the promised impact or suddenly providing a genetic map that will allow us to quickly find and target genetic diseases and other undesirable traits: would anybody knowledgeable in the field be able to provide some insight into what kind of impact the HGP data has had?
