PostGenetics is "Genomics beyond Genes", the PostModern (and Post-ENCODE) era of Genomics. While it used to be believed that the prevailing axioms in Genomics are "the Genes" (1.3%) and the "junk" (98.7%), the $50 M project "ENCODE" (led by NIH with 11 Countries participating) published on the 14th of June, 2007 its "Report", in which it was openly confessed that "the human genome is pervasively transcribed"; the "junk DNA" concept is essentially obsolete.

International PostGenetics Society (established in 2005) was the first organization to abandon the notion of "Junk DNA" as a scientific concept; ENCODE became the second.

It is OK to be ambitious and unrealistic.
