My understanding is that the Falcon engine, like MyISAM and SQLite, supports the SYNTAX for defining foreign keys, but do NOT actually enforce the foreign key constraints! That's quite an important difference. I'll stick to PostgreSQL for when I care about relational integrity.
It's just that we now have one nearly complete genome (human) and several largely complete, or getting there.
We have far more than one completed genome! The human genome project gets the most publicity of course, but there are hundreds of bacteria, viruses and plants which have been sequenced, see
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genomes/index.html.
Many of these genomes have also been annotated by human curators - the so called "meta information".
