I’d just like to point out that the GenomeWeb poll on ACLU v. Myriad reported the following results:

44% The ACLU will win; gene patents stifle research.
26% Myriad will win; the patents cover intellectual property.
18% It’s a nuisance case and should be dismissed.
10% What gene patenting case?

Note that if you add the middle two categories, which basically represent the same opinion, you get exactly 44% (so 50/50 split) – so my next question is, who reads and answers these polls? (I, for one, read but don’t answer)

Thanks for the Twitter Roundup!
