The rationale behind the position shift: genes are the product of nature, so humans should not be able to claim any proprietary right to them. This marked a reversal in the government's longstanding thinking that genes were indeed patentable as reported by Andrew Pollack's recent story in the New York ...

These include a high number of inexperienced drivers, ...
