Genotypes.  Unfortunately, some variety of representations exists
including 0/1, 1/1, A/Y, and A/ or A.

By the end of the next decade, we most likely will see whole genome
resequencing.  Three billion base-pairs for each patient, plus any
mitochrondrial DNA, plus any somatic mutations
(Nature. 2007 Mar 8;446(7132):145-6.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v446/n7132/abs/nature05610.html),
plus expression data, plus.....

Needless to say, study sizes with enlarge greatly.

I created a small suite using SAS to genotype using *.ab1 files and
database the results.  My guess is that we will see many more questions of
this type in the future :)

Very, very exciting times!!!!
