I forgot about that:
From Steven Pinker in http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/magazine/11Genome-t.html
The genome is the ultimate spaghetti code. I would not be at all surprised if some genes code for the direct opposite characteristics in the presence of other genes. It is going to take more than just running relatively simple correlation studies to untangle the functions of most genes. We are going to have to understand what proteins they code for and how they work.
Yes, that's all people claim, and I believe even this 2% claim failed to replicate.
