Question
Chapter 24, Problem 79P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The landmark case that set the stage for the biotech patent battles of today is to be described.
Concept introduction:For the early development of the spinal cord, a gene present in the body cells plays an important role. Auniversity once patented the gene for histamine and the compound is released by some cells during the hay fever season.
Also, about half of all genes that are involved in cancer are patented.
