DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

[worktoplay]

Mykel...I don't think they're picking on you. Many here know the difference between coding and non-coding (used to be referred to as junk) DNA.

The point bag8ger was making was that the principals at Genetic Technologies had the foresight to file a patent on all of the non-coding DNA about 10 years or so ago. Science is now discovering that that "junk" has use and/or purpose (even if that purpose is not to code for proteins). Many of the large players that had gone on their merry way are now having to pay the piper in the form of licenses with Genetic Technologies for infringing on their patents.

The folks here are just trying to suggest that DNAPrint may one day find itself in the position of Genetic Technologies, i.e. owning patents that the big boys will have to respect or pay for.

BTW, thanks for your insights. We all appreciate your contributions.

Of course, as always, this is my MOST humble opinion.

AFTER THE FACT EDIT: Sorry guys/gals, I was reading forward, came to this post and responded. Obviously this post is a day late and a dollar short! lol BTW, we all seem to have come to the same conclusions...lol
