A Decade Later, Genetic Map Yields Few New Cures

I've seen a few articles on this sort of topic recently, because of the 10 year anniversary of the genome's release. However they all ignore the fact that no medical and biological researchers expected to be any further than we are after a decade. Nobody with a decent understanding of what is involved in the research thought there would be much medical benefit yet. The main reason the public might be despondent is because the vast majority of news outlets no longer have dedicated science journalists, giving the work to journalists who have no understanding of the process. Hence we get hype, misunderstandings and outright lies, in the mainstream media anyway.
