Today is Human Genome Day at the US Supreme Court ~pj

gene tests involve matching sequences. This is a trivial exercise.
The Myriad case involves two genes the University? of Utah found correlated with
occurrence of some breast cancers. Word today (research published in the last
month) is than numerous genes (maybe 100s)are associated with a range of breast
(and other) cancers. This is the result of near mechanical work done using
microarrays ...
Perhaps someone, or the estate of someone, who was erroneously 'cleared' for
cancer by Myriad needs to sue ... and sue and sue. If the good (Myriad's
product) is worthless then they can't charge. If they claim it works then they
pay when it doesn't.

It is incomprehensible that this patent would ever be allowed. Patents are on
inventions. A patent on a naturally ocurring gene is absurd because it is not an
invention but a discovery.
