Unfortunately, as far as I know there is very little useful phenotypic data along with these genomes to work with. I would rather have fewer genome sequences with better phenotypic information. Even with just 35 genome sequences of "individual" yeast genomes I could do a lot more interesting analysis because they are well studied in turns of phenotypes.

The point is to look at genomic variations across the entirety of the human genome, not so much to match genomic variation to phenotype. What you're saying makes sense, but I think that is more a next step.
