康乃尔大学Weill Cornell医学院研究人员发表论文，指出了美国专利制度中一个令人不安的趋势：人类并不"拥有"自己的基因。基因是基本遗传单位，是携带有遗传信息的DNA序列，定义了生物个体的性状和潜在疾病风险。研究人员发现，至今有超过4万项专利涉及到DNA分子，企业出于盈利的目的宣称拥有了完整人类基因组。研究敲响了人类失去"基因自由"的警钟。研究人员检查了两类专利的DNA序列：长序列和短序列，发现人类41%的基因组包含在长DNA序列专利中。由于许多基因在遗传结构中共享相似的序列，如果将短DNA序列考虑在内，实际上人类100%的基因组都被专利了。This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.
