Are natural gene sequences patentable?
نویسنده
چکیده
The title question is answered in the affirmative. The patentability of natural gene sequences is based on general principles of patent law, and depends on novelty, inventive steps and industrial applicability of the subject matter to be patented. Patentability is further confirmed by the particular articles of the European Patent Convention and the recent EC Directive on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions.

The recent US Supreme Court decision in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc. clarified what is considered patentable subject matter. Patent claims limited to the composition of isolated nucleic acid sequences are now considered a product of nature and not patent eligible, while man-made variants of nucleic acid sequences may still be patentable. The decision is consisten...

The aim of this study was to perform molecular and bioinformatics analysis of IGFBP2 gene promoter in association with some economic traits in indigenous Makuee (MS) and Lori-Bakhtiari (LB) breeds. DNA was extracted from blood samples of 120 MS and 200 LB and a 297 bp fragment from the upstream sequences of studied gene was amplified and genotyped by single-strand conformational polymo...
