Genetics expert would definitively be fine to have, but I think one
student with fresh brain and a lot of determination can learn this
domain good enough for that case. And those genetics guys probably have
some mailing lists too, so there questions can be asked. I see this a
typical interdisciplinary work between two groups. That's why this
project is even more interesting to me. Just if I'd had more time ...
