...there haven't been any new smoke signals. But after six months of wrangling, a deal to end the lockout and several days of lawyerspeak, the NBA finally gets going today...
...only can such filings be sloppy genetics, they can also be bad business. est applications may lead to so-called submarine patents, claims that are made today and then vanish, only to reappear when some unsuspecting scientist finds something useful to do with genes hidden in the patent. To prevent this, Lehman requires that est applications include no more than 10 genetic sequences. Each 10 after that requires a separate application--and a separate filing fee. "Companies will now have an incentive to file more selective applications," says Lehman...
This is sweet: the FDA has okayed an all-natural progesterone derived from Mexican yams for use, along with estrogen, in hormone-replacement therapy. Called Prometrium, it's identical to progesterone in a woman's body. As a side benefit, it raises good cholesterol more effectively than today's synthetic progesterones...
...Today, four years later, a total of 20 genomes have been fully decoded, 10 of them at TIGR. In December scientists at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., and at the Sanger Centre passed a new milestone by decoding the first animal genome, that of a tiny roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans. At 97 million letters, C. elegans' genome is by far the most sophisticated ever sequenced. But if Venter's newly formed Celera (derived from the word celerity, which means swiftness) can pull it off, his proposal to shotgun the entire 3 billion-letter human genome in three years will make...
