Gene patent scrunched by court

Daniel MacArthur, as usual on top of things when it comes to anything affecting personal genomics (an interest of mine) reports on a US District Course ruling invalidating a company-held patent on two genes. Daniel’s post leads on to other fuller analyses. Intuitively, it has always seemed to me that the correct moral and societal course is not to allow human genes and suchlike to fall under any patents whatsoever.
