Speaking as a biologist, I find it highly likely that all gene sequence patents will be retracted in the future. The science behind the claims are ridiculous. It's about the same as grabbing a cute kid out of an elementary school and "patenting" them. Or patenting oxygen. DNA, a living moving thing, gets translated into a symbol code, and all logic goes out the window. Humans get really hung up on symbols..... that's why cognitive sciences are so much fun. [naturally occurring peptide sequences will also be gone] Great article.
