企业家Jonathan Rothberg和MIT物理学家Max Tegmark发起了Project Einstein项目，从美国一流大学征募了400名数学家和理论物理学家，试图通过测序基因找到天才的秘密。中国深圳的华大基因也提出过类似的项目。但此类的研究都遭到了批评，一些人认为样本量太小而不可能产生任何有意义的结果。另一些人则会对研究的伦理问题表示了忧虑，担心会导致选择性流产或根据测序筛选体外受精胚胎。菲尔茨奖得主 Curtis McMullen受邀参与该项目，他予以了拒绝并提出了批评。Rothberg引用了爱因斯坦的话，"宇宙最难以理解之处就是它可以理解"，他说，"我很想找到能理解宇宙的基因。"This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.
