Linking the psychology to the functional area is a big part of brain research. The most important advance that they could make, IMO, is to augment recall. If everyone had 20/20 memory how fast would the civilization of humanity evolve. That is the "killer app" that I hope for. That and maybe a math coprocessor.
Since when do genes have free will. I am not worried about genes "escaping" from a tomato into corn, heck I would be more worried about a gene revolt. What happens when the genes don't want to work for us anymore? Imagine one day, you come to work with the sniffles and you leave in a body bag. Some genes from disease resistant grass crossed with the common cold to create an uber-plague!!
