So, if any of you out in the blogosphere don’t already regularly review what comes out of Genomics Law Report – you should.

Today – John Conley – clarified many of the points in the supreme court decision I was wondering about and ties it back to existing case law in a way that just helps the whole thing make sense to me.

Basically- simply isolating a gene sequence, gDNA, is not patentable, but isolating and purifying the gene sequence into cDNA is allowed to be patented.

Still pondering how this will shake up the biotech world, but the decision is pretty clear.

Thanks Genomics Law Report for again taking what is complex and making it easier to comprehend.
