Interesting NGS + RNA Expression profiling setup:
Into the unknown: expression profiling without genome sequence information in CHO by next generation sequencinghttp://nar.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/38/12/3999

Nature Genetics explores GWAS and the limits of what SNPs can tell:
On beyond GWAS:

Future of publication - no real conclusion from Nature. Interesting: arxiv.org is mentioned, but busted because it is used "only" as preprint server and not as discussion platform.
