So much about the original announcements was overhyped PR. The original assembly was super-crappy and super-gappy. The folks running the two projects were exhausted and declared victory, then moved on.

Of all the fields that I've worked in, genomics has been one of the most overhyped (virtual drug discovery is the other) and it takes a ton of training just to understand how messed up the field is.
