Ehh, its not actually a big jump, and its oversold here. It's useful as an alternative to hand-designing genes, but its just a summarization tool for the gene sequences we've already annotated -- and a ballpark of 10-20% of those annotations are wrong, as it's actually very hard to annotate genes' functions correctly. I would be wary of trusting that this will work outside the most-studied protein families.
