You don't 'own' your own genes

2013-03-26
NEW YORK (March 25, 2013) -- Humans don't "own" their own genes, the cellular chemicals that define who they are and what diseases they might be at risk for. Through more than 40,000 patents on DNA molecules, companies have essentially claimed the entire human genome for profit, report two researchers who analyzed the patents on human DNA. Their study, published March 25 in the journal Genome Medicine, raises an alarm about the loss of individual "genomic liberty." In their new analysis, the research team examined two types of patented DNA sequences: long and short fragments. ...

Auto accidents often occur on low-speed roads, but a high-speed trip encourages reluctant bucklers

2013-03-26
Since most driving is done locally, it is not surprising that most auto accidents occur during routine errands. Yet, occasional seatbelt users are more likely to buckle up for trips on high-speed roads and less likely to use the belts for local driving, according to an analysis of data from 100 instrumented vehicles reported in the January issue of Accident Analysis and Prevention.
